About
Eleanor Roosevelt was born into a wealthy family but had a difficult early life. Both her parents died before she was ten. She was painfully shy and felt unattractive and awkward. But Eleanor became America's most popular First Lady - her husband was President Franklin Delano Roosevelt - and one of the world's most powerful women. Eleanor worked hard to help others, especially women, minorities and poor people.
Did you know that during the 1920s and 1930s Eleanor flew greater distances than any other woman in the world?: Eleanor was the first president's wife to hold press conferences and write newspaper columns. At Val-Kill, Eleanor started a company to make beautiful furniture and create jobs for workers. Eleanor helped write The Universal Declaration of Human Rights for the United Nations. Meet Eleanor Roosevelt, First Lady, activist, UN delegate, world traveler and writer. Read about the struggles and triumphs of her inspiring life.
