About the Book

Eleanor and Alice Roosevelt—first cousins, frienemies, and rivals--meet at eight crucial moments over the course of their complicated lives, to feud, laugh, commiserate, and argue over their husbands, children, the nature of politics, and the state of the world, from their unique vantage points as two of the most influential women of the 20th century.
