27. Diana was not a great orator but she had an empathy with ordinary people and her words would sometimes carry greater weight with the populous than thousands of fancy speeches. In some ways her words have a similar spirituality to those of her friend Mother Theresa. One I feel is especially significant says: “Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow has not yet come. We have only today. Let us begin”. Mother Theresa’s are particularly poignant to someone who died so young. I wear my heart on my sleeve. Read the following Princess Diana’s quotations and discuss them.

“I don’t go by the rule book... I lead from the heart, not the head”.

28. Eleanor Roosevelt, the wife of U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt, a woman with great sensitivity for the underprivileged of all creeds, races, and nations whose credo was: “We must try to do things we think we cannot do.” If you were thinking about outstanding women in USA would you mention Eleanor Roosevelt or not? Why?

Anna Eleanor Roosevelt

“I think, at a child’s birth, if a mother could ask a fairy godmother to endow it with the most useful gift, that gift would be curiosity”.

Anna Eleanor Roosevelt

A shy, awkward child, starved for recognition and love, Eleanor Roosevelt grew into a woman with great sensitivity to the underprivileged of all creeds, races, and nations. Her constant work to improve their lot made her one of the most loved and for some years one of the most revered women of her generation.

She was born in New York City on October 11, 1884, the daughter of Elliott Roosevelt and Anna Hall Roosevelt and the niece of Theodore Roosevelt, 26th president of the United States. She grew up in a wealthy family that attached great value to community service. Both her parents died before she was 10, and she and her surviving brother (another brother died when she was 9) were raised by relatives. The death of Eleanor’s father, to whom she had been especially close, was very difficult for her. When her parents died, the children went to live with Grandmother Hall. Their grandmother’s home was a place of rules and regulations. She was cared for by nurses and received private tutoring. Though Eleanor was a member of New York’s elite, she was never really a part of their life, because her sadness and loneliness set her apart. She knew too that there was another world cut off from the finery they enjoyed.

Eleanor was sent to England for further education. Attending a distinguished school in England gave her, at 15, her first chance to develop self-confidence among other girls. Eleanor enrolled at Allenswood, a girls’ boarding school outside London, where she came under the influence of the French headmistress, Marie Souvestre. Souvestre’s intellectual curiosity and her taste for travel and excellence awakened similar interests in Eleanor, who later described her three years there as the happiest time of her life. Reluctantly, she returned to New York in the summer of 1902 to prepare for her “coming out” into society that winter. Following family tradition, she devoted time to community service, including teaching in a settlement house on Manhattan’s Lower East Side.

Soon after Eleanor returned to New York, Franklin Roosevelt, her distant cousin, began to court her, and they were married on March 17, 1905, in New York City. His taste for fun contrasted with her own seriousness, and she often commented on how he had to find companions in pleasure elsewhere. Between 1906 and 1916 Eleanor gave birth to six children, one of whom died in infancy.

After Franklin won a seat in the New York Senate in 1911, the family moved to Albany, where Eleanor was initiated into the job of political wife. When Franklin was appointed assistant secretary of the navy in 1913, the family moved to Washington, D.C., and Eleanor spent the next few years performing the social duties expected of an “official wife,” including attending formal parties and making social calls in the homes of other government officials. For the most part she found these occasions tedious.

With the entry of the United States into World War I in April 1917, Eleanor was able to resume her volunteer work. She visited wounded soldiers and worked for the Navy–Marine Corps Relief Society and in a Red Cross canteen. This work increased her sense of self-worth, and she wrote later, “I loved it…I simply ate it up.”

When World War ended, Eleanor was active in relief service and became an outspoken critic of social wrongs she observed. When she traveled with Franklin to Europe for the Paris Peace talks in 1919, she was inspired by the hopes which many had for a lasting peace through the establishment of a world organization dedicated to improving the conditions of life everywhere.

In 1921, while vacationing at Campobello, Franklin was stricken with polio. Eleanor provided the help and inspiration which he needed to return to public life despite a paralysis which totally immobilized his legs.

She became active in the women’s division of the State Democratic Committee to keep his interest in politics alive. From his successful campaign for governor in 1928 to the day of his death, she dedicated her life to his purposes. She became eyes and ears for him, a trusted and tireless reporter.

When Mrs. Roosevelt came to the White House in 1933, she understood social conditions better than any of her predecessors and she transformed the role of First Lady accordingly. She never shirked official entertaining; she greeted thousands with charming friendliness. She also broke precedent to hold press conferences, travel to all parts of the country, give lectures and radio broadcasts, and express her opinions candidly in a daily syndicated newspaper column, “My Day”.

This made her a tempting target for political enemies but her integrity, her graciousness, and her sincerity of purpose endeared her personally to many from heads of state to servicemen she visited abroad during World War II. As she had written wistfully at 14: “...no matter how plain a woman may be if truth and loyalty are stamped upon her face all will be attracted to her.... ”

Following Franklin’s death in 1945, Eleanor was appointed as US delegate to the United nations. She chaired the Commission on Human Rights and helped to draft the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. She returned to a cottage at his Hyde Park estate; she told reporters: “the story is over”. Within a year, however, she began her service as American spokesman in the United Nations. She continued a vigorous career until her strength began to wane in 1962. She died in New York City that November, and was buried at Hyde Park beside her husband.
