Who Was Eleanor Roosevelt?
Who Was Eleanor Roosevelt? | Gare Thompson
5 posts | 4 read | 1 to read
For a long time, the main role of First Ladies was to act as hostesses of the White House...until Eleanor Roosevelt. Born in 1884, Eleanor was not satisfied to just be a glorified hostess for her husband, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Eleanor had a voice, and she used it to speak up against poverty and racism. She had experience and knowledge of many issues, and fought for laws to help the less fortunate. She had passion, energy, and a way of speaking that made people listen, and she used these gifts to campaign for her husband and get him elected president-four times! A fascinating historical figure in her own right, Eleanor Roosevelt changed the role of First Lady forever.

We enjoyed this much more than the other First Lady book (Michelle Obama) we've read in this series. It really focused on Eleanor's life and work more so than just "wife of" stuff. There was mention of an affair Franklin had, which was really odd for a children's book. P.S. These need a DON'T judge by the cover warning! Poor Eleanor ?
