The Life of Eleanor Roosevelt Part 1 In-Person
The first part of this series will be about Eleanor Roosevelt’s birth and the loss of both parents at a young age, her education in London, and Eleanor’s return to America where she meets a young Franklin Roosevelt. This presentation will also focus on Eleanor and Franklin’s marriage life, Franklin’s betrayal, and how polio affected their lives.
During the 1920s, Eleanor will become the eyes and ears of her husband as he struggles with his health and a return to politics. It is during this time that she becomes the historical figure we know, discovering her strength and purpose in society. This talk will conclude with Franklin D. Roosevelt’s election to the Presidency in 1932.
