If You Ask Me: Essential Advice from Eleanor Roosevelt by Eleanor Roosevelt, Mary Jo Binker
4.0

When I started to read this, I wasn’t sure that I would connect to advice given more than fifty years ago. Upon reading, however, I found myself relating to Eleanor Roosevelt, her readers, and the issues of the times much more than I anticipated. The topics range from war to motherhood, gender to religion, and aging to economics. This is a thoughtfully collected book of advice, and I found it entertaining, insightful, and inspiring to read. It’s certainly still relevant today. I also enjoyed that this was easy to pick up and put down as needed. You can easily read a few pieces of advice at a time and enjoy it.
