Introduction to the Biography of Eleanor Roosevelt
Eleanor Roosevelt was born on October 11, 1884, in New York City. Raised in a family that valued education and service, she faced early personal hardships, including the loss of both parents by the age of ten. Her resilience and commitment to social causes became evident during her university years, where she was an active participant in debate and charity work. In 1918, she married Franklin D. Roosevelt, a then-deputy assistant secretary of the Navy, and their partnership laid the foundation for a lifetime of collaborative activism. Throughout her husband's presidency, Eleanor transformed the role of First Lady, advocating for civil rights, women's suffrage, and humanitarian aid. After Franklin's health declined, she continued her advocacy independently, traveling extensively and speaking on issues affecting marginalized communities. Her legacy endures as a pioneer in political and social reform, inspiring countless individuals worldwide.
