Eleanor Roosevelt Dies: Champion of Human Rights
Eleanor Roosevelt was told by Franklin's mother what to wear, how to decorate, and how to raise her children. She survived the discovery of her husband's affair, the Depression, and the death of a son. She used the First Lady role as a press platform and wrote a syndicated newspaper column that ran for 27 years. After Franklin died in 1945, she went to the United Nations and chaired the committee that produced the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. She was 62 when she started that work.
