Over the twenty years that Eleanor wrote her advice column, no question was too trivial and no topic was out of bounds. Practical, warm-hearted, and often witty, Eleanor?s answers were so forthright her editors included a disclaimer that her views were not necessarily those of the magazines or the Roosevelt administration.

As for the suggestion that federal or state governments build public bomb shelters, she considered the idea ?nonsense.? Covering a wide variety of topics?everything from war, peace, and politics to love, marriage, religion, and popular culture?these columns reveal Eleanor Roosevelt?s warmth, humanity, and timeless relevance.…
