Education Clip: Eleanor Strikes Out on her Own

Eleanor Roosevelt begins to strike out on her own. FDR’s affair with her former secretary, Lucy Mercer, almost devastated her. Her volunteerism at meaningful work changed her. She learned skills and joined the board of the League of Women Voters, and made friends with other female activists promoting progressive ideas. Like her Uncle Theodore, and like FDR, Eleanor would always crave action.
