Born into wealth during the Gilded Age, Eleanor Roosevelt grew from a shy, homely girl into a confident, driven woman who championed progressive causes and the rights of man. Drawn from Eleanor’s own letters, diaries, newspaper columns, this engaging performance by award-winning actress Leslie Goddard captures this fascinating and influential public figure. Ms. Goddard holds a doctorate in American studies and U.S. history and a master’s degree in theater and is the author of two books on Chicago history.
