Eleanor Roosevelt, wife of FDR…travels through the country during the Depression, and reports back to her husband Franklin, the President.

She’s driving her own car by herself btw.

think about it: the First Lady, driving through back country roads, refusing secret service. (They gave her a gun, insistent on it. She kept it unloaded in her glovebox.)

I mean women only got the vote in this country in 1920, when Eleanor was 36 (and a mother to 5 kids). This was less than 15 years later.

Eleanor didn’t always agree with Franklin on policies. She made that pretty clear. And even if he didn’t agree, he respected her opinions. They may not have been a great love story but they were a good partnership.

When Eleanor and Franklin, both from very wealthy families (technically the same extended family), were courting, she introduced him to the realities of poverty. She volunteered from early on to do charitable work for people.

He witnessed her assisting malnourished inner city families. He told Eleanor he “had no idea people lived like that”. Before polio (and time and wisdom I’m sure) humbled him a little, no one was more condescending than Franklin Delano Roosevelt.

He literally looked down his nose at people as a young man. But as president during the Great Depression and WW2, he put his energy into being the most positive in the room (along with Eleanor).

Eleanor grew up in “peculiar way”, niece to president Theodore Roosevelt yet orphaned and lonely, always trying not be a burden and told she was ugly her whole life, taking on everyone’s problems.

They were good partners, (if not great at being married) and I think in a leadership position such as President of the United States, a person (like Eleanor) who can give balance and support but not just say “yes sir” all the time is needed.

Oh and “Hick” was Lorena Hickok, hard boiled reporter…

….and Eleanor Roosevelt’s lover and companion. But that’s a different story.

Reminds me, I need to add this to my reading list:

{The excerpts at the top of the page are from the biography “Eleanor”, by David Michaelis (2020) }

All this to say… Eleanor Roosevelt has always been a fascinating person to me and even with all her flaws, I’m reading the story of her life with a bit of longing for this kind of person in the White House.

''On these winter evenings in Needham, as N.C. left his water-tower studio, he would pause at the sight of his youngest brother's desk lamp burning through the spruce branches outside Stimson's South Street window. One night, with the house flooded in moonlight and his brother working inside at his desk, N.C. sat on the doorstep "for a long time." Worshipful, moon-struck, he took the lighted lamp as a sign that Stimson had been as moved to plain and simple artistic expression as he himself had been that day. Need-ham, N.C. supposed, pierced them alike. In his mind this was the most meaningful life one could live. Here was Stimson, living it.''
