A member of the prominent Roosevelt family , she grew up surrounded by material wealth, but had a difficult childhood, suffering the deaths of both of her parents and a brother before she was ten. Roosevelt was sent by relatives to the Allenswood School five years later. While there, Marie Souvestre , the founder of the school, influenced her. She married Franklin D. Roosevelt , her cousin, in They would have five children. Eleanor was involved in her husband's political career as he won a seat in the New York State Senate in and traveled with him to Washington D. She became involved in volunteer work during World War I. In , she discovered that Franklin was having an affair with Lucy Mercer Rutherfurd and resolved to develop her own life. She continued to help her husband in his political career but also began working in various reform movements, including the women's suffrage movement. While Franklin was president she wrote 2, newspaper columns, magazine articles, 6 books, and traveled around the country giving speeches. Still more mystic chords seemed to have been struck from their startlingly similar backgrounds. Nelly's father, like Eleanor's, had been a much-loved New York sportsman — Arthur Post, who five months before Nelly was born had died in the Anglo-American sporting community of Pau. Nelly's mother, Lizzie Wadsworth, was fashionable, beautiful, and impersonal. Eleanor and Nelly made friends so quickly, and so immediately generated excitement as a pair, that when Nelly's family planned to drive out from London the very first Sunday afternoon, Nelly insisted that Eleanor come with them. All of a week earlier, Eleanor had felt wondrously free of her former life. Now, faced with the prospect of being exposed to family acquaintances as the laughably plain daughter of Anna Hall Roosevelt, she wanted to run and hide. Worse, any outing that involved horseback riding with gutsy Wadsworth women, as Nelly had gaily promised, could not help but reveal Eleanor's own fears. Nelly went out by herself to greet her family and tell them about her friend. While these superb horsewomen could only remind her of her failures, she redeemed herself among other notable figures. Eleanor ever after felt guilty of copycatting, believing herself to be simply mirroring her way into a position of pseudo-authority without sustained study. When variations on this situation repeated in her adulthood, she made an art of being better informed and more carefully prepared than her colleagues. As a pupil she is very satisfactory but even that is of small account when you compare it to the perfect quality of her soul. From Eleanor by David Michaelis. Available at Amazon.

In Albany, where Franklin served in the state Senate from to , Eleanor started her long career as political helpmate. She gained a knowledge of Washington and its ways while he served as Assistant Secretary of the Navy. When he was stricken with poliomyelitis in , she tended him devotedly. She became active in the women's division of the State Democratic Committee to keep his interest in politics alive. From his successful campaign for governor in to the day of his death, she dedicated her life to his purposes. She became eyes and ears for him, a trusted and tireless reporter. When Mrs. Roosevelt came to the White House in , she understood social conditions better than any of her predecessors and she transformed the role of First Lady accordingly. She never shirked official entertaining; she greeted thousands with charming friendliness. She also broke precedent to hold press conferences, travel to all parts of the country, give lectures and radio broadcasts, and express her opinions candidly in a daily syndicated newspaper column, "My Day. This made her a tempting target for political enemies but her integrity, her graciousness, and her sincerity of purpose endeared her personally to many--from heads of state to servicemen she visited abroad during World War II.

Although Rose Cleveland was the first First Lady to publish a book during her incumbency, none have published more books while serving in that role than did Eleanor Roosevelt. This Troubled World and The Moral Basis of Democracy took the same technique but applied it to war-preparedness. Her second work of fiction took on a poignant currency. The book with which she was most widely associated during her tenure as First Lady was This Is My Story , the first of what would be her three-volume autobiography, providing a somewhat abstracted version of her lonely childhood and difficult early married years, taking her story up to , as FDR struggled to overcome his polio. She permitted all of her public appearances and events to be filmed by newsreel companies, whether or not it was at the White House. Apart from those of her public speeches that were filmed for newsreels, Mrs. Roosevelt did not merely appear in the brief films shown in movie theaters but often spoke, delivering some type of public service message. These meetings of celebrities from the world of entertainment and politics not only drew guests to the January events, but were also filmed for newsreels that were shown in theaters across the country, after which theater attendants would pass collection jars for donations from movie patrons. She continued to appear with movie stars in later years on behalf of war-related causes and became comfortable with humorously trading in what had become established as her popular persona. In one motion picture short shown throughout the country, for example, she promoted a charity by attempting to purchase a 25 cent raffle ticket with a dollar bill from comedienne Jack Benny, famous for his parsimony. As First Lady, Mrs. With her Ladies Home Companion column, beginning in August of , she actually encouraged the citizenry to write her directly. Shortly into her tenure as First Lady, she found her office had become something of a clearinghouse for the most desperate individuals and families left homeless, jobless or hungry as a result of the Great Depression. As many of the New Deal emergency relief agencies were still being established, she took it upon herself to have the individual letters referred to existing federal agencies that might be of direct assistance, charitable organizations or even wealthy private individuals whom she knew might be able to help. She was not able to respond by handwritten letter or even signed typed letter to all of these requests for aid, but she did do so in a surprising large number of cases. Having discovered that form letters used by her predecessors dated back to Frances Cleveland and offered little support or hope, she established a new system for herself in which every individual received an effective response. In many instances this meant that Eleanor Roosevelt engaged in direct and ongoing written contact with various federal department agency heads to continue efforts to eradicate or respond to problems in their domain. In the first year of the first FDR term, she received , letters, in the first year of the second term, it dipped to 90, and in the first election year of the third term, it again rose, to , As the US entered World War II, a greater percentage of her public correspondence came from US servicemen and their families, often reporting sub-standard conditions or illegal practices which official War and Navy Department reports might otherwise neglect to address. Omnipresent in American life for a full one-dozen years at a time conjunctive with strides in communication technologies, Eleanor Roosevelt became the first First Lady to widely enter the general popular culture, a caricatured image affixed as much to the political as well as entertainment landscape of her eras.

  • WOMEN MUST LEARN to PLAY the GAME AS MEN Do 1928
    from WOMEN MUST LEARN TO PLAY THE GAME AS MEN Do 1928 Eleanor Roosevelt Eleanor Roosevelt (1884—1962) married Franklin Delano Roosevelt in 1905. As First Lady, she was an outspoken advocate for full equality for women and for civil rights for African Americans. After her husband’s death in 1945, Eleanor Roosevelt continued to campaign for many causes and is remembered as one of the 20th century’s most influential women. In this 1928 essay she focuses on the issue of women’s equality and proposes the path women must take in order to achieve true and equal political power with men. THINK THROUGH HISTORY: IdentifyingProblems According to Roosevelt, what are the problems women must overcome in order to achieve equal political status with men? Women have been voting for ten years. But have they achieved actual political equality with men? No. They go through the gesture of going to the polls; their votes are solicited by politicians; and they possess the external aspect of equal rights. But it is mostly a gesture without real power. With some outstanding exceptions, women who have gone into politics are refused serious consideration by the men leaders. Generally they are treated most courteously, to be sure, but what they want, what they have to say, is regarded as of little weight. In fact, they have no actual influence or say at all in the consequential councils of their parties. In small things they are listened to; but when it comes to asking for important things they generally find they are up against a blank wall.

  • ELEANOR ROOSEVELT, ADDRESS by MRS. FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT—THE CHICAGO CIVIL LIBERTIES COMMITTEE (14 MARCH 1940) Heather Brook A
    Voices of Democracy 4 (2009): 60‐82 Adams 60 ELEANOR ROOSEVELT, ADDRESS BY MRS. FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT—THE CHICAGO CIVIL LIBERTIES COMMITTEE (14 MARCH 1940) Heather Brook Adams University of Maryland Abstract: Eleanor Roosevelt's speech to the Chicago Civil Liberties Committee advocated protection of civil liberties at a time of perceived communist threats. Roosevelt urged listeners to act in accordance with the ideals of democracy and to uphold their responsibility to protect the rights of all Americans. Examining the speech within its own historical framework reveals how Roosevelt embraced an increasingly public role as a political first lady and addressed a basic tension between civil liberties and national security that still concerns us today. Key Words: Civil Liberties, Eleanor Roosevelt, Republican Motherhood, Rhetorical First Lady On March 14, 1940, Eleanor Roosevelt (ER) implored a Chicago audience to "have courage," "not succumb to fear of any kind," and work together toward a "more truly . democratic nation" (14).1 In addressing the Chicago Civil Liberties Committee, an organization located in a city rife with suspected communist activity,2 Roosevelt’s speech equated freedom with democracy and placed the responsibility of upholding democratic freedom upon each man and woman in America. Given the turbulent climate of 1940, when some argued that the support for civil liberties reflected un‐American sentiment, ER’s speech reflected the first lady’s own courage and commitment to democracy and civic deliberation. ER’s speech also reflected a universal understanding of citizens' rights and responsibilities that challenged gendered boundaries of public and private spaces during the 1940s.

  • Papers of the Franklin D. Roosevelt Memorial Foundation the Papers
    Papers of The Franklin D. Roosevelt Memorial Foundation The papers were donated by Isador Lubin, w. Averell Harriman and Basil O'Connor. Quantity: 20 linear feet Restrictions: None Related Materials: Material relating to the Foundation will be found in the Papers of Isador Lubin, Basil O'Connor and Eleanor Roosevelt. The Franklin D. Roosevelt Memorial Foundation had its roots in the Roosevelt National Memorial Committee which was organized by Basil O'Connor in May 1945, at the request of Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, to consider a suitable memorial to the late President Franklin D. Roosevelt. President Harry s. Truman agreed to serve as Honorary Chairman with Mr. O'Connor, the former president's law partner and executor of his estate as well as head of the Warm Springs Foundation, serving as temporary chairman. A planning committee of the Roosevelt National Memorial Committee was set up on May 3, to serve as a clearing house for ideas on a memorial. In the succeeding months two considerations emerged which would significantly impact any future Roosevelt memorial. The first was whether Roosevelt should be memorialized by a ''dead'' memorial i.e. a monument, statue, etc. or whether the Committee should memorialize the President "in a living, active, alive way.'' O'Connor favored the latter since he said that FDR had opposed such memorials for other people. The second was the need to establish a foundation. To this end, the O'Connor and Farber law firm reserved the name Franklin D. Roosevelt Memorial Foundation in New York State in mid-May 1945 to preclude any other group from using the terms ''Roosevelt,'' ''Memorial,'' or "Foundation.

Author: Polak, Sara Anne Title: "This Is Roosevelt's World" : FDR as a cultural icon in American memory Issue Date: 2015-12-08 Chapter 8: Eleanor Roosevelt’s Covert Expansion of Autofabrication – A Double Deal Introduction Ken Burns’ documentary series The Roosevelts: An Intimate History (2014) was generally well- received by reviewers, but one point of criticism raised by Mary Jo Binker and Brigid O’Farrell – both scholars affiliated with the Eleanor Roosevelt Papers project of the George Washington University – is that Eleanor Roosevelt receives less attention than is her due. In an article on History News Network they reflect on how Eleanor Roosevelt herself might have assessed the series: As a savvy producer and consumer of television, ER would have been the first to appreciate Burns’s series on her family. She would have welcomed his interest in their lives and accomplishments but she would have been puzzled and dismayed at the amount of time devoted to her private life. She would have been particularly unhappy about the portrayal of the last seventeen years of her life (a mere 35 minutes in a fourteen-hour program). (…) From 1945 until her death in 1962, ER took the ideas about community, inclusion and democracy that she, her husband, and uncle espoused, and pushed them much farther than Theodore or Franklin ever dreamed. However, because she usually exercised political power indirectly and often played down or obscured her own achievements, ER’s contributions are often overlooked and undervalued.

    A Presidential Governorship: The FDR Years as New York Governor A thesis submitted to the Miami University Honors Program in partial fulfillment of the requirements for University Honors with Distinction by Rebecca Grudzinski May 2005 Oxford, Ohio 2 ABSTRACT A PRESIDENTIAL GOVERNORSHIP: THE FDR YEARS AS NEW YORK GOVERNOR by Rebecca Grudzinski This thesis will examine Franklin Roosevelt’s 1928-1932 Governorship of New York State, Roosevelt’s official return to public life after polio and paralysis. Polio taught Roosevelt about patience, courage, and suffering, and greatly impacted his approach to politics and people during his Governorship. In four years, Roosevelt progressively transformed New York, fully supporting his belief that government had the responsibility to maintain and protect the welfare of its citizens. Examination of Roosevelt’s Governorship will reveal that the New Deal of his presidential administration was not really all that new, as it was largely based upon policies and practices he had enacted while Governor of New York. Ultimately, the Governorship was a critical test period for Roosevelt in dealing with his disability, the press, and politics, and it proved to the nation and himself that he was capable to assume the presidency. 3 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Dr. Allan Winkler, for encouraging undergraduate students to conduct primary research Dr. Daniel La Botz, for a spirited historical discussion Dr. Stephen Norris, for two years of fully supporting my study of history 4 A Presidential Governorship: The FDR Years as New York
