Anna Eleanor Roosevelt was born in New York City on October 11, 1884, daughter of Anna Hall and Elliott Roosevelt, the younger brother of US President Theodore Roosevelt.

Eleanor, who only used Anna for official signatures, was a shy and awkward child raised by relatives after the death of her parents. Despite the insensitivity of her upbringing she grew into a woman with great empathy for people caught in the social and economic conditions of the day, and the fostered the energy and commitment to serve humanity.

	Eleanor Roosevelt Quotes “Friendship with ones self is all important, because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else in the world.” "Freedom makes a huge requirement of every human being. With freedom comes responsibility. For the person who is unwilling to grow up, the person who does not want to carry is own weight, this is a frightening prospect."

	Eleanor Roosevelt, Great American Women Poster Eleanor Roosevelt Poster Text: Born in 1884, Eleanor Roosevelt was to become the most active First Lady in the nation's history. Even as a teenager, she felt a deep concern for the less forunate. "I am always questioning, questioning," she wrote in her diary. "I can feel it in me ... that I can do much more than I am doing." Life was soon to give her the chance to do "much more." In 1905, Eleanor married Franklin Delano Roosevelt. When he was stricken with polio in 1921, she began to help him with his work. And after he became President in 1933, she became hes "eyes and ears," traveling everywhere he could not go. The 1930s were the years of the Great Depression, a time when millions were out of work. When Mrs. Roosevelt was not visiting coal mines or city slums, she was working hard to get help for poor farmers or speaking boldly against racial prejudice. In the early 1940s, during World War Two, she worked tirelessly for world peace. And for the six years after her husband's death in 1945, whe served as a delegate to the United Nations. President Truman once called her "The First lady of the World." She herself summed up her views this way: "You have to do the best you can in this world, and when you have done that, that is all you can do." She remained active in public life until her death in 1962. • more Great American Women posters
