## Description

The Three Graces of Val-Kill changes the way we think about Eleanor Roosevelt. Emily Wilson examines what she calls the most formative period in Roosevelt’s life, from 1922 to 1936, when she cultivated an intimate friendship with Marion Dickerman and Nancy Cook, who helped her build a cottage on the Val-Kill Creek in Hyde Park on the Roosevelt family land. In the early years, the three women—the “three graces,” as Franklin Delano Roosevelt called them—were nearly inseparable and forged a female-centered community for each other, for family, and for New York’s progressive women. Examining this network of close female friends gives readers a more comprehensive picture of the Roosevelts and Eleanor’s burgeoning independence in the years that marked Franklin’s rise to power in politics.
Wilson takes care to show all the nuances and complexities of the women’s relationship, which blended the political with the personal. Val-Kill was not only home to Eleanor Roosevelt but also a crucial part of how she became one of the most admired American political figures of the twentieth century. In Wilson’s telling, she emerges out of the shadows of monumental histories and documentaries as a woman in search of herself.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fascinating Examination of a Friendship
*by  on Reviewed in the United States September 18, 2022*

This was a very easy to read account of a less famous time in our longest serving First Lady's life before going to the White House. It examines her relationships with those outside her family and the way she crafted her life after her husband hurt her and caused her to build her own life and redefine their relationship. I had heard some reference to her furniture factory but not of the Stone Cottage that became her home or the school that she participated in founding.The author described the time and setting well so that you could feel what Val-Kill must have been like at that time. It examines the intricacy of the friendship between three women that became strained but yet remained connected through the years.
