She reveals how they demonstrated the energy and intellectual curiosity that defined their famous family, as well as the roles they played in the intrigues, scandals, and accomplishments that were hallmarks of the Roosevelt clan. She examines the Roosevelt women as mothers, daughters, wives, and, beyond that, as world travellers, authors, campaigners, and socialites, in short, as themselves. In The Roosevelt Women, Betty Boyd Caroli weaves together stories culled from a rich store of letters, memoirs, and interviews to chronicle nine extraordinary Roosevelt women across a century and a half of turbulent history. But few people know much about the extraordinary network of women that held the Roosevelt clan together through war, scandal, and disease. The Roosevelt name conjures up images of powerful Presidents and dashing men of high society.
