Abstract
This paper closely examines former First Ladies Eleanor Roosevelt and Barbara Bush. The similar backgrounds and passions of these two women are revealed through this in-depth comparison.

From the Paper
"Eleanor Roosevelt and Barbara Bush were two extraordinary former first ladies who helped to shape today's American society. Both of these women played active roles while they were First Ladies of the United States. Although these two women lived in different time periods and concentrated their abilities in different areas, both were influential in their own unique ways. 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. She was also involved in the women's movement. After her years in the White House, Eleanor Roosevelt dedicated her time to humanitarian causes. A Republican, Barbara Bush was also active during her years in the political spotlight. Barbara Bush devoted her time to issues such as literacy and volunteerism. Before and during their times in the White House, these two women had many similarities as well as many differences, both lifestyle-wise and political-wise. Both were profoundly unique women who used their talents to take them far."

The paper portrays how in this manner, Roosevelt presents an ethical observance of the equal rights instilled within the concepts of the Bill of Rights, as well as the original application of these principles in the ideals of the Founding Fathers.

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."

From the Paper
"Rarely throughout the course of history have many women made as much of a stand or an impact on society as Eleanor Roosevelt. When thinking of influential ladies, one easily recalls Susan B. Anthony and her suffrage fight or Rosa Parks and her battle for racial equality or even Maya Angelou as a Black female writer, in a more modern context. Each of these ladies had a different effect on the outcome of a nation, but Eleanor Roosevelt was one of the rare women who would change the world with her compassion, intelligence, and conviction, despite the odds."

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."

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.
