Eleanor Roosevelt
[ send me this paper ]
8 pages in length. One cannot discuss twentieth century first ladies without Eleanor Roosevelt immediately coming to mind. Regarded as one of America's great reforming leaders who had a sustained impact on national policy toward youth, blacks, women, the poor, and the United Nations, Mrs. Roosevelt became the new representation of first ladies. Politically active and social adept, Eleanor took strong stands in everything she addressed, in spite of the fact that she was initially apprehensive of becoming trapped in the cyclical confines of the White House. This proved to be a premature concern, inasmuch as Mrs. Roosevelt was instrumental in setting new precedents. Weekly press conferences, national lectures and a radio programs were just some of the innovative ways the first lady immersed herself in the political scene. Along with a syndicated newspaper column, being a hands-on supporter for the World War II war effort and a major voice in [President Roosevelt's] administration for measures to aid the underprivileged and racial minorities, Eleanor had made a solid place for herself in the annals of American history.
