Eleanor Roosevelt shares with the audience her tragedies and triumphs. Born into the opulent wealth of America's "Golden Age" she would grow from the shy, homely orphan into a confident, driven woman. Annealed by personal tragedy, she would emerge as a champion of civil rights, author, and stateswoman. Eleanor has been characterized by many as our most respected First Lady. She is best summed up by President Harry S Truman, who dubbed her "The First Lady of the World."
