- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Eleanor Roosevelt had a very nice writing style. Her autobiography is very easy to read and quite insightful.I think she was proof that wisdom does come with age. For the time she must have been quite something. She was definitely a woman with an opinion. Reading about all her travels I also find interesting. I like the fact she is quite down to earth and to the point about everything that's included in this book.However, once again I picked up a book about (and this time also by) and American and the anti-communist thing is getting sooooo old. Thankfully we have history after her death to prover her ideas wrong. Also the view of America as world leader is even older and boring! Again, history is proving her wrong.Besides those two things I find this book very interesting and it gives a nice view of the times and her personal development.
