Eleanor Roosevelt's It's Up to the Women Monday, May 15 7:30 PM "Women, whether subtly or vociferously, have always been a tremendous power in the destiny of the world," Eleanor Roosevelt wrote in It's Up to the Women, her book of advice to women of all ages on every aspect of life. Written at the height of the Great Depression, she called on women particularly to do their part so that the country could emerge from crisis better than it was before. On occasion of Nation Books’ re-issue of the First Lady's prescient work, with a new introduction by Jill Lepore, we are proud to present a panel discussion about the legacy of Ms. Roosevelt, the evolving role of first ladies, and the women’s movement taking the lead against the current administration.
