    I think that Eleanor Roosevelt is most under appreciated. Did you know that she addressed the nation after Pearl Harbor while her husband was meeting with his cabinet. You wouldn't get that now, but people had confidence in her and many loved her. She risked her life for civil rights going to locations to meet in secret locations that were not at all secure. She, along with the Prime Minister of Canada, got together and convinced the United Nations to create a Peace Keeping Force. Only a few of the things done by Eleanor Roosevelt in a time when women were not suppose to involve themselves in such things.

    Glad I came to check this lens, as I am a huge fan of Mrs. Roosevelt.

    I didn't know about those books at all.
    Thanks

    Here in the UK our school classes are divided into 'houses' just like Grifindor etal in harry Potter. My 'house' was Roosevelt, i was house captain too and it was named after Eleanor because of the good works she did in the Depression of the 1930s.

    Well, I want to say that each and every day, I am finding Eleanor to have been quite a gal! An early rocketmom perhaps?

    Oh my! What an inspirational lady.

    I've read a few of Elliott's books. I found them quite entertaining and have often wondered how much of his Mom he actually put into the character in his books. Fun reads!

    Hi Margo. Ohme sent me your link to this lens because she knows I love mysteries. I've seen the Eleanor Roosevelt mystery series for quite some time, but haven't yet read any. After reading this fascinating lens, and having always liked Eleanor Roosevelt, I may go get some of these books to read. Thanks for such a good review of these books and videos.

    I had no idea one of our First Ladies was also a super sleuth. :-) I wonder if she enjoyed reading about her second life in these books.

    Welcome to Girls Detecting group!

    This lens is fascinating.

    I voted for Eleanor as my favorite 1st lady. In my opinion she did so much for the country--much more than any other 1st lady to date (Feb. 2009). Mrs. Obama has a lot to live up to.

    Hey Margo, this was a really fun lens, plus, as always educational. I could use some light reading, I'm going to try one of those mysteries.

    ***** I really like this one!
