Sobre el autor
Eleanor Roosevelt (1884-1962) became most widely known as the wife of President Franklin D. Roosevelt and thus the longest-serving First Lady in American history, but she was also an accomplished diplomat, civil rights advocate and a fierce campaigner for basic human rights around the globe. Easily one of the most admired Americans of the 20th century, Eleanor Roosevelt fundamentally altered the role of First Lady, often speaking on behalf of her husband due to his persistent health issues, and did not try to disguise when she disagreed with her husband on policy issues. After leaving the White House, Eleanor served as the US Delegate to the United Nations General Assembly from 1945-1952 and delivered the speech in this volume at the Sorbonne in Paris on September 28, 1948.
