The very best of Eleanor Roosevelt’s historic newspaper column, for the first time in a single volume-a dazzling diary of her life and times. Recently named “Woman of the Century” in a survey conducted by the National Women’s Hall of Fame, Eleanor Roosevelt wrote her hugely popular syndicated column “My Day” for over a quarter of that century, from 1936 to 1962. This collection brings together for the first time in a single volume the most memorable of those columns, written with singular wit, elegance, compassion, and insight-everything from her personal perspectives on the New Deal and World War II to the painstaking diplomacy required of her as chair of the United Nations Committee on Human Rights after the war to the joys of gardening at her beloved Hyde Park home. To quote Arthur Schlesinger, Jr., “What a remarkable woman she was! These sprightly and touching selections from Eleanor Roosevelt’s famous column evoke an extraordinary personality.”

Review

…Sylvie and Witherspoon have launched an important discussion…Time, Change, and the American Newspaper is an exhaustive literature review of what others have said about change and the press. That alone makes it well worth adding to the reference stacks, because it finally puts the literature on newspaper change in one accessible spot…it is destined to become a useful reference. It also breaks ground for thoughtful discourse on the subject of change in journalistic environments. I hope it will be a catalyst for more exploration of a subject that could become a major part of media management scholarship.—Journal of Media EconomicsThe book is well written with clear examples and helpful charts and diagrams….Highly recommended for professional collections and university libraries supporting graduate and research work in journalism and in newspaper management.—CHOICE
