From the Paper
"Norman Cantor has noted that the lives of medieval women were as diverse as those of men and that women in this era contributed to all the major movements that spelled success for an emerging European civilization. Nevertheless, women in the Middle Ages were, regardless of their position, status or birth, regarded as legitimately inferior to men and, as of necessity, submissive to their fathers and husbands and brothers. Even in the case of Queen Eleanor of..."

From the Paper
"Everyone wears a number of hats throughout their lives, sometimes as a parent or friend, other times as leader or lover. Rarely in history, though, has just one person worn so many important hats quite as well as Eleanor of Aquitaine as she pursued her personal version of success in Medieval Europe for the better part of a century. In her capacity as a savvy politician and behind-the-scenes manipulator of events, Eleanor managed to be involved in many of the important events of the 12th century. Although biographers continue to debate many fine points, they all tend to agree that Eleanor of Aquitaine was one of the most powerful and fascinating personalities of feudal Europe."

The paper examines the events experienced by Eleanor of Aquitaine and her first husband Louis while on route to Jerusalem during the Second Crusade. Although Louis would be viewed favorably for his efforts, Eleanor would be plagued for the rest of her life with rumors of impropriety and incest.
From the Paper
"Pernoud records the couple?s stay at Antioch in much the same way as Seward. However, Pernoud seems to give more credence to the possibility that an unnatural closeness may have existed between Eleanor and her Uncle. ?If we adhere to historical fact, it seems unquestionable that Eleanor acquired a bad reputation at Antioch.?(Pernoud,72) He states that the charge of incest was leveled by the chronicler, ?William of Tyr, who cannot be dismissed lightly? (Pernoud,72) Despite this assertion, Pernoud also insinuates that Eleanor?s reputation may have been the result of her open disputes and disagreements with her husband Louis while displaying complete agreement with her Uncle. Seward does not mention William of Tyr by name, his account states that the only chronicler to make this allegation wrote of them forty-years later. Seward also relays that contemporary authorities have found no evidence to conclude the possibility of incestuous behavior on behalf of Eleanor or her Uncle. "

From the Paper
"According to Curtis Howe Walker, "Romance offers no more brilliant picture than does the story of Eleanor of Aquitaine, wife of two powerful medieval monarchs, and mother of two more -- one of them a villain, the other, the most famous warrior of his time" (1950, p. 2). This author points out the Eleanor lived during a formative period in history, and she was inextricably entwined with the great personages of her era. These relationships "plunged her into adventure after adventure, and led her from one extremity of the known world to the other. And hers was a long life. She made her first entrance on the public stage as a bride at the age of fifteen, and held her place upon it for three score years. After her last dramatic act, the defense of a besieged castle, she made her exit at the age of eighty-two.""

The latter queen, for all her power, is characterized as a repressed emotional woman, while Eleanor is defined by her unconventional social and political assertiveness.

From the Paper
"This sociological study will examine the role of the First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt in regards to her racial policy while living in the White House. In this respect, Roosevelt presented a politically charged policy, which sought to create more integration for African Americans. In this manner, she raised the issues of racist "institutions" that had prevented equality of rights for minorities. In essence, Eleanor Roosevelt was a powerful example of racial reform in regards to the ruling elites of Washington through religious and political ethical principles. Eleanor Roosevelt was originally ignorant of the racial problems that existed in America before her husband's inauguration, due to her somewhat sheltered upbringing in upper class society. This form of society prevented her from truly seeing the racial disparities that existed within the institutionalized racism of the South."

A liberal Democrat, Eleanor Roosevelt was very active during her years in the political spotlight. While in the White House, Eleanor Roosevelt had many issues that were important to her, including concern for young people, the poor, the unemployed, and racial equality.

Abstract
This paper discusses Eleanor Roosevelt?s personality, political achievements and her relationship with the mass media. The author gives examples of how she left her mark on the American society and culture.
From the Paper
"It is hard not to admire Eleanor Roosevelt even if we judge her by the standards of the 21st century in which we expect women to take their place in public life with assurance and intelligence. It is impossible not to admire her if we consider her accomplishments within the context of the decades bracketing World War II. She was one of the first women to make such an indelible mark on American society and culture. There are a number of reasons for her success ? including her intelligence, her moral and ethical commitment to social justice, her ability to work hard, her refusal to be discouraged. But one of the most important keys to her success was the deft way in which she handled and used the mass media (especially newspapers and radio) to help promote the causes that she believed to be most important as well as to create a sense of self. This paper examines her relationship with the mass media, how she used it, was shaped by it, helped to shape it ? and the legacy that she created for both the women who have come after her and the continuing ways in which the mass media have been affected by her work.

Abstract
This paper analyzes "Eleanor Roosevelt, a Personal and Public Life" By J. William T. Youngs, a biography of the infamous First Lady. It examines how the book describes Roosevelt as one of the most powerful and admired women in American history. It provides a detailed insight into her life and discusses how her difficult early life likely laid the groundwork for the immense caring and compassion that she showered on a variety of causes. It looks at how over the course of her life, she transformed herself from an orphaned young woman to an accomplished public figure and despite many criticisms of her public and personal life, she ultimately became a role model for future First Ladies and many other American women.
From the Paper
"Eleanor?s adult life was equally marked by personal difficulties. By many accounts, her husband Franklin D Roosevelt was not an ideal husband, and was often absent. Eleanor remained devoted to Franklin despite his betrayal of their marriage vows. Eleanor and Frank?s third child died of influenza soon after birth. In addition, Eleanor was thrust into the highly public and stressful life of the First Lady after her husband was elected as President of the United States in 1932."
