Eleanor Roosevelt, the wife of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, was the country's most active First Lady in her era.

She married her distant cousin Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1905 and had six children, one of whom died in infancy. During World War I she helped the Red Cross with war work and when her husband became president in 1933, she became a major voice in his administration, fighting for measures for the underprivileged and racial minorities.
