Cover is somewhat worn and scuffed, Inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper. Inscription reads: For Mary, The Sage of the Washington Post, from Agnes E. Meyer.

Agnes E. Meyer was the wife of Eugene Meyer, who served as the Governor of the Federal Reserve Board, as the Managing Director of the War Finance Corporation, and who also purchased the Washington Post newspaper. Agnes Elizabeth Ernst Meyer (née Ernst; January 2, 1887 - September 1, 1970) was an American journalist, philanthropist, civil rights activist, and art patron. Throughout her life, Meyer was engaged with intellectuals, artists, and writers from around the world. Meyer's marriage to the financier Eugene Meyer, son of Marc Eugene Meyer, provided her with wealth and status that enabled her to influence national policy, such as social welfare programs. Meyer lobbied for the creation of the Department of Health, Education and Welfare and for the U.S. government to provide federal aid to states for education. President Lyndon Johnson credited Meyer for building public support for the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, which for the first time directed federal assistance towards school districts that served children from low-income families. She advocated for equal employment and educational opportunities, regardless of race. Meyer's investigative journalism showed the inequities of racial segregation in schools in the Washington metropolitan area. The purchase of The Washington Post in 1933 gave Meyer and her family the capacity to affect American opinion for several generations. Daughter Katharine Graham led the newspaper during the coverage of Watergate Investigation that eventually led to the resignation of President Richard Nixon and earned the paper a Pulitzer Prize. During Senator Joseph McCarthy's anti-Communist campaign in the 1950s, Meyer delivered speeches that characterized the campaign as a threat to academic freedom. Meyer's investigative journalism showed the inequities of racial segregation in the Washington metropolitan area schools. President Lyndon Johnson credited Meyer for building public support for the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, which for the first time directed federal assistance towards school districts that served children from low-income families. Meyer lobbied for integration of public schools and an end to racial discrimination in employment. Meyer advocated for the creation of the Department of Health, Education and Welfare and the United States government providing federal aid to states for education. Lyndon B. Johnson credited her with having the most influence over his education policies. On November 17, 1956, Agnes E. Meyer addressed the National Council of Negro Women in Washington D.C. Throughout the 1960s she continued to dedicate her time to improving public education through the creation and financial support of several not-for profit organizations. Derived from a Kirkus review: "Democracy is hard work"- so says Mrs. Meyer, who has lived her faith in democracy to the full. And not shirked the hard work. This is the story of a full life. An honest story, revealing the insecurities of her adolescent years, and how in her maturer years she found again the roots of early childhood happiness. It is a story of a period of feverish seeking in fields of art and letters; it is a story of a marriage to a financier, a public servant, a newspaper publisher -- and of.

Shelved in Case 1 1/2. Agnes Elizabeth Ernst Meyer (née Ernst; 1887-1970) was an American journalist, philanth…ropist, civil rights activist, and art patron.

[wikipedia]; From the dust jacket: "In 1943-1944 Mrs/ Eugene Meyer visited twenty-six war centers and thee observed the effect of our all-out war effort on the physical and moral life of he home population. This is her report on the migratory industrial army of twenty million people finding themselves in strange cities, working at unfamiliar occupations, and attempting to adjust themselves to a new life. The resulting chaos involves not only the adult workers but he six million children of these workers; it is the children who are paying the dreadful price for this uncontrolled migration, easy money, unaccustomed hours of work, and the absence of parental care. Is this America? is the question which Mrs. Meyer many times asked herself during her travels. Her objective and accurate reports on social conditions in the war centers were published in the Washington Post, where they immateriality attracted national attention. These articles are here revised and reprinted, with an Introduction and an important Conclusion"; The cities discussed extend the width and breadth of the United States, from Portland, Oregon to Portland, Maine, from Uniontown, Pennsylvania to Orange, Texas, with a stop in Wichita, Kansas. The Articles on Washington DC include "Congested Areas Get Attention," "Negro Housing in the Nation's Capital,' and "The Negro and the Army." Puget Sound Area has an article entitles "Seattle Fights Venereal Disease," while Brunswick, Maine has one on "Returned Vets Bitter About Home Conditions."; 1318254. Shelved Dupont Bookstore.

Stated "first edition" on copyright page. Top edge dyed yellow. Light shelf wear to boards, internally clean. In the publisher's dust jacket, $4.00 on front flap, chippi…ng along top edge of spine, short closed tear, a bright example. Signed on the front free endpaper by Agnes E. Meyer and Eleanor Roosevelt. Agnes E. Meyer was an ardent critic of New Deal policies, believing that "destructive overcentralization of government in Washington" was hurting local communities. She defended her position on a radio program hosted by Eleanor Roosevelt in 1935, describing Mrs. Roosevelt as her "political enemy" in this book, but she respected her for their common interest in "public education" and her nonpartisan generosity. By the 1950's, the two were friends. In Eleanor Roosevelt's "My Day" article from January 9, 1957, she said of Mrs. Meyer: "It is interesting that, as you grow older, sometimes you have the good fortune to outgrow some of the misunderstandings of your youth and to learn the real values of people. Mrs. Meyer and I started off not only on opposite sides of the political fence but we thought our philosophies of life were completely different. It took us a good many years to learn about each other, but gradually we acquired respect and then a real and deep affection, and friendship grew between us. We were working for the same things. Our objectives were the same and I am now proud that I can call Agnes Meyer one of my real friends." Agnes E. Meyer is the mother of Katherine Graham, who led the Washington Post through the Watergate Scandal and to an eventual Pulitzer Prize for their coverage. First edition of Out of These Roots: The Autobiography Of An American Woman, signed by former political rivals, Agnes E. Meyer and First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt. (illustrator). Signed.
