Eunice Kennedy Shriver may not be as well known as her brothers Jack, Bobby, and Ted, but during her lifetime, she worked tirelessly behind the scenes to influence public policy and serve the public good. In celebration of the centennial of her birth, we speak with biographer Eileen McNamara and her son Timothy Shriver, and hear from Eunice herself.

Karen Tumulty, political columnist for The Washington Post, discusses her forthcoming book, "The Triumph of Nancy Reagan," which draws on archives, letters, memoirs, White House records, and four years of interviews with people close to the Reagans to reveal new details of the multifaceted character of the First Lady. Eileen McNamara, Pulitzer Prize-winning former Boston Globe columnist and Brandeis professor of the practice of journalism, moderates.

Award-winning journalist Larry Tye discusses his new book Demagogue: The Life and Long Shadow of Senator Joe McCarthy with Pulitzer Prize-winning former Boston Globe columnist Eileen McNamara. For more info, visit jfklibrary.org/forums.

On this episode of #StrangeDaysPodcast, we talk to Putin’s worst nightmare & #MagnitskyAct mastermind Bill Browder about #TrumpRussia+ Best Buddies founder Anthony Shriver on his mom Eunice: The Kennedy Who Changed the World w/ Pulitzer Prize-winning author Eileen McNamara.

In this “revelation” of a biography (USA TODAY), a Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist examines the life and times of Eunice Kennedy Shriver, arguing she left behind the Kennedy family’s most profound political legacy. While Joe Kennedy was grooming his sons for the White House and the Senate, his Stanford-educated daughter, Eunice, was hijacking her father’s fortune and her brothers’ political power to engineer one of the great civil rights movements of our time on behalf of millions of children and adults with intellectual disabilities. Her compassion was born of rage: at the medical establishment that had no answers for her sister Rosemary, at her revered but dismissive father, whose vision for his family did not extend beyond his sons, and at a government that failed to deliver on America’s promise of equality. Now, in this “fascinating” (the Today show), “nuanced” (The Boston Globe) biography, “ace reporter and artful storyteller” (Pulitzer Prize–winning author Megan Marshall) Eileen McNamara finally brings Eunice Kennedy Shriver out from her brothers’ shadow. Granted access to never-before-seen private papers, including the scrapbooks Eunice kept as a schoolgirl in prewar London, McNamara paints an extraordinary portrait of a woman both ahead of her time and out of step with it: the visionary founder of Special Olympics, a devout Catholic in a secular age, and an officious, cigar-smoking, indefatigable woman whose impact on American society was longer lasting than that of any of the Kennedy men. Eileen McNamara is the author of Eunice, the Kennedy who Changed the World, to be released on April 3, 2018. The post Eunice Kennedy Shriver – Ep 37 with Eileen McNamara appeared first on Read Learn Live Podcast.

Julia has a major closet problem and what's going on with her hair? The Kanye West firestorm over his slavery remarks. Guest is Eileen McNamara, author of “Eunice: The Kennedy Who Changed the World”.

This is an incredibly moving biography about a woman who should be more well known. Eunice changed the world in many ways and if you love biographies this is a story for you. Everything is well reported and artfully told by the author… the famous family, her impact on her brothers, how Special Olympics came to be and her bipartisan dealmaking over 40 years. 5 stars!
