Eleanor Roosevelt: The First Lady Who Changed Everything

This week, we're diving into the extraordinary life of Eleanor Roosevelt, from her heartbreaking childhood and complicated marriage to Franklin D. Roosevelt to his infamous affair, her own rumored romances, and the love letters that have fascinated historians for decades. Along the way, Eleanor transformed the role of First Lady, fought tirelessly for civil rights and women's equality, and became a political powerhouse in her own right. Eleanor is the ultimate RAM icon and we are so excited to share her story.
