Laura Flanders and Friends: Positive Independent Journalism for a Just World Women's History Makes The Future - Blanche Wiesen Cook
"Some of us have too much of this world’s goods... and we are thereby separated too widely from each other," wrote Eleanor Roosevelt, the subject of Blanche Wiesen Cook's three-volume biography. For Women's History Month, Laura speaks to Cook about Eleanor - the First Lady of the World - and why her work still resonates. Plus, a documentary by filmmaker Ross Watne on Arthurdale, the experimental, government-funded community Roosevelt championed in Depression-era West Virginia. Music featured: “Superman” by violinist Richmond Punch featuring Christian LACE and Tomea Coleman from Richmond’s album “Finally”. Why not become a LFShow member? Do so and unlock more content.
