I really enjoyed this glimpse of Mrs. Roosevelt, first lady of the world, as she's called. This quirky column is sort of an ancient Twitter feed as she talks about family, personal beliefs and political observations.
I appreciate her dedication in word and work to human rights above country. Granted, she's a little conservative here and there and awkward about other cultures, but she's surprisingly progressive for her day on a lot of things. Her commentary and concern about McCarthyism could be printed today and be just as timely.
