    In her time, not many women were educated, but she differed from these women. The time period did not allow for women to choose their husband, most marriages being set up and political, and women were also restricted from requesting a divorce. Women were not allowed the freedom to rule as Queen without the male heir, or King, with them. In Eleanor’s era, Queens were considered useless if they failed to produce a male heir. Women were not respected and “unintelligent”. Eleanor was an extraordinary queen who landed herself a spot in the history books by influencing society beyond the world of politics, changing the way the world viewed love, romance, and chivalry, and by displaying to all of mankind that women were accomplished…

    Afraid that her own activities would be restricted, Roosevelt dreaded assuming the title of the first lady. From a young age, she had first-hand knowledge of what the job of the first lady was like because she had seen her aunt, Edith Roosevelt, serve as a hostess during the majority of her time in the White House (Spangenburg 60). But Edith Roosevelt was not the only example that Eleanor Roosevelt could look at. Lou Henry Hoover, the first lady before Eleanor Roosevelt, studied at Stanford University and formed her own organization to help Americans returning home from World War I. Even though she was just as successful and independent as Roosevelt, Hoover still found it hard to continue building up her own career when she moved into the white house and yielded to the pressure to adopt the role of the traditional first lady(Scharf 85).…

Eleanor always worked for the rights of women, joining several organizations to fight for the cause she so clearly believed in. Campaigning for herself and other women to have the right to join in and make decisions on the board of political committees, she argued the laws of society to work towards her beliefs. To help further the participation of women in politics, Roosevelt “assembled a list of women qualified for executive level appointments, urged the Roosevelt administration to hire them, and, when their suggestions did not get a fair hearing, did not hesitate to take their ideas to FDR” (“Women’s Movement”). To help women to gain ground in the world of politics, Roosevelt pushed women leaders towards her husband’s administration. She urged her husband, the President himself, to appoint women to his advisory and cabinet positions, therefore, furthering her cause to place women into the world of politics.
