Historians, politicians, feminists, critics, and reviewers everywhere have praised Blanche Wiesen Cook's monumental Eleanor Roosevelt as the definitive portrait of this towering female figure of the twentieth century. Now in her long-awaited, majestic second volume, Cook takes readers through the tumultuous era of the Great Depression, the New Deal, and the gathering storms of World War II, the years of the Roosevelts' greatest challenges and finest achievements.

In her remarkably engaging narrative, Cook gives us the complete Eleanor Roosevelt: an adventurous, romantic woman, a devoted wife and mother, and a visionary policymaker and social activist who often took unpopular stands, counter to her husband's policies, especially on issues such as racial justice and women's rights. A biography of scholarship and daring, it is a book for all readers of American history.

The companion to Don'ts for Husbands, this book is a facsimile edition of the original book published by A&C Black in 1913 England, containing hundreds of snippets of entertaining advice for a happy marriage, which rings true almost one hundred years after they were written. These reissued books are ideal holiday stocking stuffers, or gifts for weddings, engagements, and anniversaries.

“Offers both archaic and not-so-outdated tips on achieving marital bliss, from not making him jealous to not laughing when she asks to drive the car.” —Vanity Fair, April 2008

“Words of wisdom for a happy marriage from nearly a century ago…The advice comes from a set of guidebooks on marriage written on the eve of the First World War…Penned by Blanche Ebbutt in 1913, they were first published at a time when women stayed at home while their husbands went out to work. Times have changed since then, but the advice could be considered as relevant today as ever.”—The Daily Mail, May 2007

Some sample Don'ts:

• Don't expect your husband to be an angel. You would get very tired of him if he were.
  
• Don't bother your husband with a stream of senseless chatter if you can see that he is very fatigued.
  
• Don't forget to wish your husband good morning when he sets off to the office. He will feel the lack of your good-bye kiss all day.
