Contents Foreword vii Introduction 1 Letters 13 Bibliography 283 Index 284 Foreword •leanor Roosevelt, arguably the most important woman of the twentieth century, has been the subject of considerable scholarship in recent years that focuses on the tensions between her public and private life. Examination of her close personal relationships, however, may tend to obscure the signifi- cance of her role as a stateswoman and professional political leader. This volume of selected letters is valuable because it shows a dimension of Eleanor Roosevelt lost in construction of a portrait that emphasizes her emotional life. Here we have her correspondence to a stunning array of individuals whose decisions affected the course of world and national affairs—Truman, Eisenhower, Churchill, Marshall, Harriman, Stevenson, Kennedy. These letters, most of which were taken from the vast collection of Eleanor Roosevelt papers at the Franklin D. Roosevelt Library, Hyde Park, New York, have been available to scholars for years but never before published in a single volume. They picture Eleanor Roosevelt as a canny and astute adviser to presidents and would-be presidents, as a resourceful diplomat at the United Nations closely attuned to the currents of the Cold War, and as a powerful force in the Democratic Party. They show her lecturing President Truman, attempting to persuade Eisenhower to appear on her public affairs broad- casts, and critiquing Kennedy's television performance. What emerges is the voice of a shrewd, self-confident individual committed to both the Demo- cratic Party and a democratic way of life. Not all of the selections, however, are letters addressed to famous figures. The volume includes some correspondence with ordinary citizens to whom viii Foreword Eleanor Roosevelt expressed her views on controversial topics such as the conviction of Alger Hiss. Letters concerning her service on the board of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People demonstrates her commitment to civil rights. We also find references to her dispute with the Catholic church over aid to parochial schools. Unlike some of her biographies, the letters do not present Eleanor Roosevelt as a saint. They picture her as a very down-to-earth individual— making recommendations for political appointments, trying to arrange for Bernard Baruch to have access to the White House, refusing to loan money to the grandson of an old friend. Although the editors wisely have decided not to include letters to family members, nevertheless, elements of Eleanor Roosevelt's personality flavor this volume of what essentially is a collection of political views by an important participant in the post-World War II scene. Scholars and general readers alike should be grateful to the editors, Leonard C. Schlup and Donald W. Whisenhunt, for this fascinating volume that makes the study of Eleanor Roosevelt more accessible to the public. What is presented offers rich insights into a remarkable woman's life and times. Maurine H. Beasley University of Maryland introduction 'leanor Roosevelt ranks among the most remarkable women of the twen- tieth century. As the wife of an American president and his partner in a suc- cessful political combination, she defined the role of activist first lady. Her path broke barriers and set new standards for modern women. A pragmatic player in the American political landscape for three decades, she embraced coalitions and championed compromise while retaining her reverence for individual rights and dedication to progressive ideas. After the death of Presi- dent Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1945, Mrs. Roosevelt emerged as first lady of the world, functioning as an ambassador of good will. "We have to prove... that democracy really brings about happier and better conditions for the people as a whole," she insisted. "She was a living symbol of world under- standing and peace," said President John F. Kennedy, "and her untiring ef- forts had become a vital part of the historic fabric of this century." Gov. Adlai E. Stevenson of Illinois observed that ER would rather "light a candle than curse the darkness." He was right, for throughout her public life she lighted candles of courage. From 1932 until her death thirty years later, she evolved into the conscience of her generation and the voice of a common humanity yearning for decency and self-respect. An emblem of the American aspira- tion, ER stood for compassion, hope, and belief. She spoke her own mind in her own way, often using the words "it seems to me." A passionate reformer and humanitarian who despised the politics of avoidance, Eleanor Roosevelt vigorously defended the causes and ideals she deemed just and worthy. An unofficial ambassador for justice who gave voice 2 It Seems to Me to the voiceless and hope to the hopeless, she accepted personal responsibil- ity for her country. Roosevelt took self-government seriously and would not rest until she had done what she felt she had to do and what her conscience demanded that she somehow accomplish. "What one has to do usually can be done," she reasoned. Life for her was an ongoing adventure, an opportu- nity to learn, and an invitation to fulfill obligations. Throughout this pro- cess, with her ceaseless movements and measureless energy, ER developed into an American legend. She advocated women's rights, civil rights, and world peace. Envisioning a better world, she surfaced as a national representative for causes that helped shape the liberal movement in the 1940s and 1950s. In certain ways, Mrs. Roosevelt, the mother of the postwar Democratic Party, commanded more attention and proved more effective in proclaiming its message than did the leading male politicians of the era. Her understanding of her own time seems more sound in retrospect than that of many New Deal administrators, who thought in terms of policies. ER thought in terms of people. For the first lady, the real question was the human question, and her mission sought to keep the human perspective. ER's greatest talent was her ability to reduce the quarrels of doctrine and dogma to human differ- ences to be discussed in human terms. "Where after all do universal human rights begin?" she asked. "In small places close to home, so close and so small that they cannot be seen on any maps of the world." ER also stated: "Human rights will become a reality only when people really believe in human rights and want to live for human rights." Eleanor Roosevelt practiced her own brand of freedom from fear. She was first lady for twelve years in an era when Americans endured the worst depression and the most horrific war of all time. Roosevelt sought security and stability. She projected hope to a despondent, dispirited America. She felt an obligation to do something, to care, to feel, and to instill expectations. Her aim was to sow love and faith, and she did so with a rare grace and eloquence. Throughout these years, the first lady practiced the power of be- lief. She said, "Believe in yourself. You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you stop to look fear in the face You must do that which you think you cannot do...

  • The Evolution of the Image of the First Lady
    The Evolution of the Image of the First Lady Reagan N. Griggs Dr. Rauhaus University of North Georgia The role of the First Lady of the United States of America has often been seen as symbolic, figurative, and trivial. Often in comparison to her husband, she is seen as a minimal part of the world stage and ultimately of the history books. Through this research, I seek to debunk the theory that the First Lady is just an allegorical figure of our country, specifically through the analysis of the twenty- first century first ladies. I wish to pursue the evolution of the image of the First Lady and her relevance to political change and public policies. Because a woman has yet to be president of the United States, the First Lady is arguably the only female political figure to live in the White House thus far. The evolution of the First Lady is relevant to gender studies due to its pertinence to answering the age old question of women’s place in politics. Every first lady has in one way or another, exerted some type of influence on the position and on the man to whom she was married to. The occupants of the White House share a unique partnership, with some of the first ladies choosing to influence the president quietly or concentrating on the hostess role. While other first ladies are seen as independent spokeswomen for their own causes of choice, as openly influencing the president, as well as making their views publicly known (Carlin, 2004, p. 281-282).

  • Eleanor Roosevelt's Servant Leadership
    Tabors: A Voice for the "Least of These:" Eleanor Roosevelt's Servant Le Servant Leadership: Theory & Practice Volume 5, Issue 1, 13-24 Spring 2018 A Voice for the “Least of These:” Eleanor Roosevelt’s Servant Leadership Christy Tabors, Hardin-Simmons University Abstract Greenleaf (2002/1977), the source of the term “servant leadership,” acknowledges a lack of nurturing or caring leaders in all types of modern organizations. Leaders and potential future leaders in today’s society need servant leader role-models they can study in order to develop their own servant leadership. In this paper, the author explores Eleanor Roosevelt’s life using Spears’ (2010) ten characteristics of servant leadership as an analytical lens and determines that Roosevelt functioned as a servant leader throughout her lifetime. The author argues that Eleanor Roosevelt’s servant leadership functions as a timeless model for leaders in modern society. Currently, a lack of literature exploring the direct link between Eleanor Roosevelt and servant leadership exists. The author hopes to fill in this gap and encourage others to contribute to this area of study further. Overall, this paper aims at providing practical information for leaders, particularly educational leaders, to utilize in their development of servant leadership, in addition to arguing why Eleanor Roosevelt serves as a model to study further in the field of servant leadership.

  • “100 Percent American”: Henry Morgenthau Jr. and American Jewry, 1934-1945 Lucy
    Reconciling American Jewishness with the “100 Percent American”: Henry Morgenthau Jr. and American Jewry, 1934-1945 Lucy Hammet Senior Research Capstone History 480, Senior Research Seminar Dr. Vivien Dietz Hammet 2 Reflecting on his childhood, his family, and his religion, Henry Morgenthau III, son and namesake of FDR’s Secretary of the Treasury, wrote in 1991 of his Jewish heritage, calling it “a kind of birth defect that could not be eradicated but with proper treatment could be overcome, if not in this generation then probably in the next. The cure was achieved through the vigorous lifelong exercise of one’s Americanism.”1 He goes on to recount a childhood memory that took place in the early 1920s in New York City when a fellow playmate asked about his religion. Later, he confronted his parents with the question, “What’s my religion?” In response, Morgenthau III was taught the following: “If anyone ever asks you that again, just tell them you’re an American.”2 And that is what he did for much of his life. Had he asked his father, Henry Morgenthau Jr., this same question twenty years later, the answer would likely have been very different. By the end of World War II, Morgenthau Jr. was a leader in the American Jewish establishment, chairman of the United Jewish Appeal, and an aggressive actor in the struggle to save the remaining Jews of Europe. His son understood this change as having “sprung from something hidden deep within his conscience.”3 In reality, Morgenthau was one of many American Jews who underwent a turbulent change in experience of Jewishness in the 1930s and 1940s.

Why did the haddi get swollen? Has the swelling subsided now? If it has not, you must take immediate steps to cure it. The replies to the questions which you have put to Mahadev are: 1. I consider a minimum of half an hour’s walk morning and evening essential for you and others. It is not necessary to sit in one position for more than an hour. One should stand up for a minute at least, or change the posture. 2.

When a son goes abroad and lives in a foreign country for ten years, his mother has no choice but to bear the separation.
