  7. Eleanor Roosevelt, a compassionate and prominent woman, who lived the years of WW2 and the Great Depression has a past that no one would expect. Even though she came from a wealthy family, having lived far away from the slums of the city, she had nothing close to a happy childhood. With her brother dying from diphtheria, her mother sick with intense headaches and an alcoholic father who had left her, she was sad and alone. She was mocked everyday by her mother until she died, and she had to be sent to live with his grandmother. With her grandmother, she lived uncomfortably. Only having a small room and little clothes, living with her grandmother was something she hated. They weren’t impoverished, it was just that her grandmother didn’t like her nor her brother. She heard the grave news after some years with living with her grandmother, her father had died. She was a brooding girl with small hopes and no happiness. Then the best years of her life happened, when her grandmother sent her to Allenswood, a boarding school where she finally straightened her life. She dominated the hockey fields and learned French. She became fit, made many friends, and was happy for a long time.

  17. Eleanor Roosevelt, was a very prominent woman in history. She would stand up for human rights. All those segregated, the women who could not vote, all these people were defended by this one women, Eleanor Roosevelt.

    Thousands of people around the globe with no doubts followed her. She was compassionate and brave even though that in her childhood she was so lonely and sad. Mrs. Roosevelt would go to tenement slums and hang out with those impoverished by the great depression, and with no doubts or resentment, she would indeed help them. This is why she was so loved.

    Eleanor Roosevelt was once the first lady of the us. She was perhaps the most active one. When her husband, Frederick Delano Roosevelt, would be away or occupied, she would dominate and go to meetings. She was grave fight for justice, and encouraged people to help her gain it completely.

    People were wavering between if it was any use to fight for justice or not, but Mrs. Roosevelt considered it a fact, that if everyone would fight for it, little by little, they would start gaining their rights. Brooding, for Eleanor, was not an option, and this is why she was so dignified to be as good and inspiring as she was, and this is exactly why so many people are aspiring to be like her. Mrs. Roosevelt, shall forever remain as with her very deserved title, the first lady of the world.
