Now, in Eunice, Pulitzer Prize winner Eileen McNamara finally brings Eunice Kennedy Shriver out from her brothers' shadow to show an officious, cigar-smoking, indefatigable woman of unladylike determination and deep compassion born of rage: at the medical establishment that had no answers for her sister Rosemary; at the revered but dismissive father whose vision for his family did not extend beyond his sons; and at the government that failed to deliver on America's promise of equality. Granted access to never-before-seen private papers--from the scrapbooks Eunice kept as a schoolgirl in prewar London to her thoughts on motherhood and feminism--McNamara paints a vivid portrait of a woman both ahead of her time and out of step with it: the visionary founder of the Special Olympics, a devout Catholic in a secular age, and a formidable woman whose impact on American society was longer lasting than that of any of the Kennedy men. 538 Requires Boundless App. 600 10 Shriver, Eunice Kennedy. 600 10 Kennedy, John F.|q(John Fitzgerald),|d1917-1963|xFamily. 600 10 Kennedy, Joseph P.|q(Joseph Patrick),|d1888-1969|xFamily. 600 17 Kennedy, John F.|q(John Fitzgerald),|d1917-1963.|2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00035588 600 17 Kennedy, Joseph P.|q(Joseph Patrick),|d1888-1969.|2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00045119 600 17 Shriver, Eunice Kennedy.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00172541 600 30 Kennedy family. 600 37 Kennedy family.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00219187 610 20 Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (U.S.) 610 20 Special Olympics, Inc. 610 27 Special Olympics, Inc.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00766129 650 0 Women philanthropists|zUnited States|vBiography. 650 0 Philanthropists|zUnited States|vBiography. 650 0 Presidents|zUnited States|xBrothers and sisters |vBiography. 650 7 Families.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01728849 650 7 Philanthropists.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01060593 650 7 Presidents|xBrothers and sisters.|2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01075735 650 7 Women philanthropists.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01178284 651 7 United States.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01204155 655 4 Downloadable audio books. 655 7 Biographies.|2lcgft 655 7 Biographies.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 Biography.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01423686 655 7 Audiobooks.|2lcgft 710 2 Boundless (Digital media service) |0_aBoundless_(Digital_media_service) 856 40 |uhttps://naper.boundless.baker-taylor.com/ng/view/library /title/0021755334|zFound on Boundless
