Tim O’Connor Family Interview My Mother My mother has been one of the hardest working women that I have ever known in my life so I decided to sit down and have an interview with her. See how she got there, why she chose to take the jobs she did. I learned a very interesting thing talking to her. Her first job was at Social Security as soon as she got out of High School.

The Woman Who Raised a Nation In the book Founding Mothers: The Women Who Raised Our Nation, Cokie Roberts gives voice to the unsung female heroes who helped shape the foundation of the United States. The women she wrote about faced enormous challenges yet believed in the possibility of a radical concept called democracy.

She lost a husband, a friend, and one of her most loved political leaders, after a little time period of isolation, Eleanor restarted her public activities.

President Truman selected her to guide the United Nations Human Rights Commission in 1945.
U.S. Presidency April 8, 2010 ELEANOR ROOSEVELT One of the greatest issues surrounding Eleanor Roosevelt’s career, is the debate of how influential she really was during the presidency of her husband Franklin D. Roosevelt. Eleanor’s influence was profound but it had important limitations. She used her position as first lady to bring attention to things that needed attention brought to like women’s rights and civil rights. Even though she wasn’t able to accomplish everything she wanted to, she made sure she did whatever she was capable of doing to make changes for America’s future. Eleanor Roosevelt grew from being a shy, awkward child, into a woman with great sensitivity to the underprivileged.
Eleanor Roosevelt Abstract Eleanor Roosevelt was famous throughout the world at the age of sixty four. By 1948 she had already served as first lady of the United States, which is known to be giving to the president’s wife. As the first lady, she had to play the role of a lot of different things.
