Eleanor Roosevelt Quotes - “No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.”


During his first 100 days as president, Roosevelt spearheaded
unprecedented federal legislation and directed the federal government during most of the Great Depression, implementing the New Deal, building the New Deal coalition, and realigning American politics into the Fifth Party System.

Eleanor Roosevelt became First Lady of the United States when her husband was inaugurated in March of 1933. However, she was less than thrilled to take on this new role. Traditionally, First Ladies would let go of their causes, if they had any, upon entering the White House, and were limited to a life of relative domesticity. For example, just a few years earlier, Lou Henry Hoover (wife to President Herbert Hoover) had abandoned her feminist activism when her husband was inaugurated in 1929.

Instead of following in Lou Hoover’s footsteps, Eleanor defied the then-natural role of the First Lady and continued to actively speak, write, and do business, to much criticism.
