Condition: Very Good
Description: A very scarce book. This publication by Mrs. Roosevelt and Lorena Hickok came well after their days in the White House together. The book is dedicated to Molly Dewson. Dewson took over as Director of the Women's Division of the Democratic National Committee when Franklin D. Roosevelt came to office in 1933.The book tracts the activities of women in politics from Stanton to 1952 but concentrates on the 1948-1952 period where Hickok's journalistic experience would be particularly useful. The book concludes with a " How To Break Into Politics " chapter. However, the highlight of the book is Hickok's chapter on Eleanor which Eleanor agreed to reluctantly and did not see before publication. This is an extraordinary volume. Boards show light traces of water stains. However, boards and book are sound and there is no sign of stains to the text.

Description: First edition of Roosevelt and Hickok's tribute to women in America. Octavo, original cloth. Signed by both Eleanor Roosevelt and Lorena Hickok on the half-title page. Very good in a very good dust jacket with some wear to the extremities. Uncommon signed. "Eleanor Roosevelt was a figure of considerable historical consequence on two grounds. She embodied the aggressive spirit of feminism that began challenging male domination of American business and politics in the 1920s and she became⦠the champion of the New Deal's liberal impulse" (New York Review of Books). Ladies of Courage, coauthored by Roosevelt with her close friend, journalist Lorena Hickok, honors the struggle and political achievements of women. Hickok, who "ranks among the most important woman journalists of the 20th century⦠entered Eleanor Roosevelt's life at a pivotal moment and became her greatest source of emotional sustenance as she began to redefine the role of First Lady" (Beasley et al., Eleanor Roosevelt Encyclopedia, 236).
