  [ROOSEVELT,  Eleanor]  MEYER,  Agnes E. OUT OF  THESE  ROOTS.  THE
AUTOBIOGRAPHY  OF  AN  AMERICAN WOMAN. Boston: Little,  Brown  (1953).
First  Edition.  Autobiography  by this journalist,  close  friend  of
Thomas  Mann,  who  often  found herself at odds  with  the  Roosevelt
administration.  SIGNED  by  the author and interestingly  by  Eleanor
Roosevelt  on the front endpaper. About Mrs. Roosevelt, Meyer says  in
this  book:  "We  were political enemies for the  time  being....  The
thing  that  even  Mrs. Roosevelt's most hostile critics  cannot  take
away  from  her, is her womanly dignity, that quality of  self-control
which  in more civilized days entitled a woman to be called a lady....
There  is  no  woman  whose  advice I value more  than  that  of  Mrs.
Roosevelt."  Slight  smudge to the very end of Roosevelt's  signature.
Near Fine in a close to Very Good dustwrapper.                 $750.00
