Eleanor Roosevelt (Birthday)
About this event
Join us in celebrating the birthday of Eleanor Roosevelt born on this day in 1884.
After the League of Women Voters was founded in 1920 – the same year that Franklin D. Roosevelt ran for Vice President – she helped establish its policy agenda. As the League’s Vice President of Legislative Affairs, she lobbied for reforms in Congress and worked tirelessly to strengthen women’s role in politics, helping mobilize women voters through the League’s nonpartisan training and lobbying work.
