Memorable Quotations: Eleanor Roosevelt
Eleanor Roosevelt (1884-1962) was a social activist, the United States representative to the United Nations (1945-1953; 1961), and the wife of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, 32nd United States President. For her indefatigable support for America’s least powerful people, specifically women, African- Americans, and the poor, she became one of the most treasured American public figures of the 20th century.
