Tomorrow Is Now is Eleanor Roosevelt’s final book, first published in 1963. It considers the condition and future of American democracy, examining civil rights, social inequality, political participation and the responsibilities of citizens. Roosevelt reflects on the United States’ democratic principles while arguing that those principles require continued practical attention rather than complacency.

The book also addresses America’s place in an increasingly interconnected world. Roosevelt discusses international relations, prejudice, education and the need for cooperation across national and social divisions. Drawing on decades of political and diplomatic experience, she connects domestic questions of equality and citizenship with broader concerns about peace and international responsibility. The work combines political reflection with an appeal for engagement, presenting social and democratic development as continuing processes shaped by present choices rather than goals that can be postponed to a distant future.
