Eleanor, Quiet No More

Raised in a strict Victorian household, Eleanor Roosevelt faced loneliness and criticism, yet she found comfort in literature and her own thoughts. Her intelligence and empathy attracted many friendships and led to her marriage with Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Unlike her peers, she focused on teaching underprivileged children in New York City. As First Lady, she became a groundbreaking figure in social and political activism, advocating for civil rights and significantly impacting American society.
