Serving as a bridge between the Progressive Era, the New Deal, and the burgeoning Civil Rights Movement, Roosevelt used her unique position to challenge entrenched racial, gender, and political norms. While her husband preached the Four Freedoms, she built relationships with Black civil rights leaders, such as Mary McLeod Bethune and A. Phillip Randolph, to ensure these freedoms applied to all Americans.

No form of love is to be despised

words written by Eleanor Roosevelt ; printed & bound by Peter and Donna Thomas.

To celebrate Iowa City Pride that happened this month, here is another little item featuring violets, and a lovely rainbow roll.

The "rainbow roll" letterpress technique, where the rollers are inked up using more than one color, produces the lovely gradient of pink and purple shown on the text. The text itself is attributed to Eleanor Roosevelt, who was close friends with several lesbian couples during her lifetime and was rumored to be bisexual herself.

"The scroll is wrapped around a capped brass shaft. This scroll unit is slipped inside a hole that was drilled into a small paduk wood block. This block was in turn glued as a textblock into the covers of the book. (The) label which depicts violets and the script initials 'E.R.', as (Eleanor Roosevelt) signed her letters, was printed from a linoleum block carved by Donna." --Catalog
