Eleanor Roosevelt
This presentation was really interesting to listen to. I think it is a lot easier to connect to the history of World War 2 when someone researches a person and finds relatable qualities in them. I thought the most interesting portion of this presentation was just how much this first lady impacted the home front after her husband was paralized with polio. I also found it interesting that she lobbied to allow Jewish children to come into the US and that congress vetoed it.

Eleanor Roosevelt was one of the first strong women in the White House who influenced her husband in several ways politically. They were a team that oftentimes coincided and differed on several points but overall gave the country a leadership team that was the first of its kind in the US presidency.
