[Charles Agvent]

[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. (#014361)        $750.00
