A review by prettypious
The First Ladies by Marie Benedict, Victoria Christopher Murray

4.0

This book was better than I thought it would be. I was excited to learn more about Mary McLeod Bethune and appreciated the care with which her story was told. I didn’t know as much about E. Roosevelt but was happy to learn about her and her work for civil rights. It’s amazing the way she put her self out there when she had every privilege in the world to stand ten toes down with Mary is admirable. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in either woman, historical fiction, women’s rights or the rights and history of Black Americans.
