Marie Benedict and Victoria Christopher Murray on the friendship that changed U.S. history.

For the first time in VBT history, we are welcoming not one, but TWO authors: Marie Benedict and Victoria Christopher Murray. Tune into this week's episode to learn more about The First Ladies, how this co-author-duo met, and what they learned about each other in the process.  The First Ladies is about the extraordinary friendship between First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt and Civil Rights Activist Mary McLeod Bethune. When FDR is elected president, the two women begin to collaborate more closely, and Eleanor becomes a controversial First Lady for her outspokenness on Civil Rights. When she receives threats, it only fuels the two women's desires to fight for justice and equality.  Get The First Ladies at bookofthemonth.com.
