U.S. First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt was far more than the wife of President Franklin D. Roosevelt (1934-45). She was an outspoken public figure in her own right, an author, humanitarian, and champion of diverse social causes who helped draft the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
Eleanor Roosevelt transformed the office of the First Lady, as well as the way Americans viewed the role of women in public life. Not content to stay confined to domestic issues -- and unafraid to ruffle the feathers of the many critics who complained that she was overstepping her role -- Eleanor Roosevelt held her own press conferences, wrote her own newspaper column, traveled abroad to support American troops during World War Two, and frequently spoke out in favour of women's rights, children's issues, helping the poor, and combating racial discrimination. And she did all of this while helping to raise the six children she had with FDR.
Eleanor Roosevelt stepped out from the imposing shadow of her husband, engaging a long and fruitful career at the United Nations following FDR's death in 1945. There she served as a delegate to the General Assembly until 1953, before becoming chair of the U.N.'s Human Rights Commission, where she contributed to what she considered her greatest achievement: the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
Though controversial at the time, Eleanor Roosevelt is today remembered as one of America's most important women leaders. Through her life's work, four books and countless public interventions, she continues to inspire people of all backgrounds and political persuasions to strive for the greatness that's within us all.
