An Amazing Woman of the 20th Century

Eleanor Roosevelt was born to a wealthy and important family. She was the nice of one president of the United States and became the wife of another. She was a busy and well traveled First Lady, author and humanitarian. After the death of her president husband she rose to even greater heights becoming among other things, Ambassador to the UN.

Why I Admire Eleanor Roosevelt

Eleanor Roosevelt was born and raised in a time when women did not have the power they now enjoy. She was born into the wealthy Roosevelt family, niece of President Teddy Roosevelt and married a distant cousin, Franklin Delano Roosevelt who later became president of the United States. When her husband became afflicted by polio she encouraged and helped him continue his political ambitions and became his "legs" when he became president. She traveled widely throughout the country and the world bring him information that he needed.
