"Eleanor Roosevelt and the Arthurdale Experiment" by Nancy Hoffman explores the ambitious vision of Eleanor Roosevelt in establishing Arthurdale, a New Deal community in West Virginia during the Great Depression. Aimed at providing struggling families with sustainable livelihoods, the experiment served as a model for social reform and empowerment. Through personal anecdotes and historical context, the book showcases Roosevelt's commitment to social justice and the challenges faced in transforming a rural settlement into a thriving community. Hoffman's narrative highlights the resultant impact on residents and underscores Eleanor Roosevelt's enduring influence on American social policy and community development.
