After suffering through an unhappy childhood and family tragedy, Eleanor Roosevelt figured out where she fit in and could make a difference: she grew up and became an American politician and the longest-serving First Lady of the United States. Eleanor Roosevelt was the first presidential spouse to hold press conferences, write a syndicated newspaper column, and speak at a national convention. She advocated for expanded roles for women in the workplace, the civil rights of African Americans and Asian Americans, and the rights of World War II refugees. She became one of the first delegates to The United Nations and is also one of the top ten most admired people of the 20th century.
