I found the presentation really interesting. I never really knew about Eleanor Roosevelt and how she tried to reform so many things in the US from attempting to let in Jewish children to making sure the Tuskegee Airmen got to see combat time. She was definitely one of the most important first ladies in history.
I have also never heard about the women and children jumping off the cliffs in Saipan. Japanese propaganda was definitely influential if almost 75000 women and children committed suicide during World War II.

I agree with you, Eleanor Roosevelt was an amazing woman. I only knew about a some of the things that she did until Wed. She accomplished quite a bit, especially considering the roles that were assigned to women in this time.
I had not heard about what happened in Saipan either. Those women must have been terrified to be willing to take both their own lives and the lives of their children. I think this really goes to show how strongly propaganda can influence people.
