Eleanor was U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt‘s niece and FDR‘s cousin. They were agnatic descendants of Claes Martenszen Van Rosenvelt (1623 – 1660) who emigrated to New Amsterdam in 1649.
In Gallup’s List of Most Widely Admired People of the 20th Century (1999), Eleanor ranked ninth – her husband ranked sixth. In Hart’s Most Influential People in History, she’s ranked #393; Franklin ranked #360.
The civil and human rights movements in America and around the world greatly advanced due to her support and leadership. In fact, she chaired the United Nations committee that drafted and approved the Universal Declaration of Human Rights
Aviation pioneer Amelia Earhart (1898 – 1937) enjoyed a friendship with the First Lady. Both were devoted to women’s causes and shared other interests, including aviation and feminist issues.
