Eleanor Roosevelt

Eleanor Roosevelt was an inspiring women who has been credited by President Truman as"First Lady of the World" because of all of her achievements within the human rights movement.  Most notably, she served as one of the first delegates to the United Nations and oversaw the drafting of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. She began her political career as First Lady of New York, then to the United States. She eventually held her last political office of Chairwomen of the Presidential Commission on the Status of Women in the early 1960s. One of my favorite quotes is from her autobiography, "This is My Story,1937" - "no one can make you feel infedor without your consent."
