Eleanor Roosevelt

Meet first lady Eleanor Roosevelt in 1937, during her husband’s second term as president. By 1937, Eleanor had worked for years to advance minimum wage, maximum hours, laws against child labor, women's rights, women's representation in government, world peace, and civil rights. She continues these pursuits even while her husband is in office. No other "first lady" has ever taken on such a public role. Furthermore, Eleanor often serves as her husband's eyes and ears across the United States by inspecting factories, inner city tenements, and military camps.

Behind this public life is the story of a little girl who lost both parents before the age of ten, a debutante who felt trapped by society’s expectations, and a young wife who raised five children before emerging as one of the 20th century’s most remarkable women.

The program consists of a monologue in character, followed first by a Question and Answer period with "Eleanor" and then by a Question and Answer period with the presenter, Susan Marie Frontczak.
