As we keep seeing when looking at the Homefront, it is often women who shape life during the Second World War with men away at the front. Leading roles are still very much filled by men though, so it is a welcome change to see a woman stand up for female interests in politics: Eleanor Roosevelt, the First Lady of America during the Great Depression and the Second World War, is known for her activism for social causes and fighting for the rights of people often at the bottom of society. Considering the amount of energy she was able to channel into these causes, it is surprising how complicated her personal life was. Even today she stands as a role model for the First Ladies to follow in her place. Cheers, Fiona
I don't care but you might; after President Woodrow Wilson's brain basically exploded (Schlaganfall) his wife took over. All the elites knew it, but to keep the country steady and comport with the norms of the day it was never publicly stated. Eselsbruecke: Is this word derived from French? Then the G is probably dsch! Is this word from Saxon? (German) Then it is probably k! but all -gh words are Saxon (durch through, rough roh) and that G is silent. (fright = frait, but enough = inuff).
the G in Clergy sounds like dsch. (klaer-dschi). It's derived from the word cleric, which is also etymologically related to clerk and clark, though Clark is now only a personal name. Great episode.
@@QuizmasterLaw Funny you should bring Wilson up. We have literally just finished writing a Between Two Wars script which heavily features his illness and post-Presidential career. Despite his grave health he even fantasied about running for office again in 1924. He also spoke bitterly on America's continued isolationism, going as far to call it cowadly. Stay tuned to learn more.
My mother was a Girl Scout in an honor guard for official events in Washington DC. She remembered that Eleanor stopped to greet and talk with each of them. Her dad, my grandfather was a Republican who was kept on in the Federal Trade Commission after FDR was elected. Mom became a committed Roosevelt Democrat. She embraced the New Deal but learned to respect her fathers' honorable service to the administration even as he described himself, "in loyal opposition" to the President. "I serve at the President's pleasure". She remembered evenings discussing politics and ideology with her father. "He encouraged me to be informed, make my own decisions and then defend the positions I was taking. He was a gentle lion of a man". There is no doubt that Mrs. Roosevelt inspired her to speak her mind and that the gentle lion encouraged her to be honest and effective. She became a leader in early childhood education and later became a nurse and a resource for those managing end of life care. Compassion is the legacy of Eleanor Roosevelt.
I love this on multiple fronts. First, it’s an example of her inspiration of others. Second, it shows an honorable man who even at odds with his boss faithfully served. And, who encouraged his daughter to be her best. It’s an example I think so many could learn from. Granted they’d have to want to learn it but that’s a whole rabbit hole lol.
My grandfather was a navy corpsman stateside during WWII as he was able to stay in the states because he could type. Eleanor Roosevelt was his favorite public figure in all his life. He told me of a time when he was picking a recently returned sailor from San Fransisco to escort him home to Oklahoma and Eleanor was visiting the sailors. He got to shake her hand. I always loved to hear him talk of the Roosevelts.
The wealthy and powerful have things like "fifth cousin, once removed". You or I have a name for "fifth cousin, once removed" - it's called "total stranger".
@@AlexPeace246 Respectfully, there's some nuance. If you look at photos of people who have what used to be called "Hapsburg chins", that's not just "fifth cousin, once removed" marrying, that's a consistent practice of very, very close relatives marrying over and over again through many generations and the resulting severe genetic mutations. The profound genetic deformities of the Hapsburg line was not merely an exercise in British, Dutch Republic, or French propaganda - you have the extreme chin deformities, sterility, mental disabilities, etc. Some got off very well, since there was new blood coming in, some had obvious genetic deformities but were rather accomplished rulers, and some were effectively put into a room and cared for but not the subject of most "Great Men of History" historiography.

Very nice to see you again, Anna. Eleanor Roosevelt also served as the first Chairperson of the Commission on Human Rights and played an instrumental role in drafting the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. While never signed by the United States, it is an ideal the world still should adopt.
@@erraticonteuse Quite right. That set in motion the dramatic difference in the two parties we see today with Democratic party being majority minority and the Republican party almost exclusively white males.
One interesting fact: Eleanore Roosevelt was friends with Lyudmila Pavlychenko, Soviet Ukrainian sniper who went to the US as part of a Soviet delegation in 1942. She invited her to live for some time in the White House and later organized a tour of the US for the Soviet delegation. It is on that tour that Pavlichenko said this in her speech in Chicago where she urged the opening of a "second front" in Europe: "Gentlemen, I am 25. At the front, I have already killed 309 fascist invaders. Don't you think, gentleman, thay you should stop hiding behind my back?" They met again 15 years later when Eleanore Roosevelt visited the Soviet Union.
Great episode! It's cool seeing Anna's (I hope that's right, sorry if it isn't) progression to being more comfortable on camera. Ya struck gold with Astrid, you're a lucky dog Sparty. Keep up the great work everyone with Timeghost!
I once knew one of Kazakhstan President Nazarbayev’s physicians. She had great respect and admiration for Eleanor Roosevelt, and was under the impression that a lot of the medical supplies that made it to the USSR were due mostly to her personal efforts.
My father was a pre-WW2 U.S. Marine. In 1941, he joined the RCAF. In late 1942, he and thousands like him came back to the states to serve in the U.S. armed forces. He served in the Air Transport Command. He was convinced until he died in 2007 that the Japanese-Americans were interned for "their" safety from their fellow citizens not the other way around. He also thought that Mr. Roosevelt used Mrs. Roosevelt as a lightening rod for some of his politics. Or as he would say "He sent her out to draw fire". You might want to do an episode on the "other" overseas Japanese in Asia before WW2 started.
Elreanor Roosevelt is still my hero. The eyes and ears of the President because of his disability, he trusted Eleanor like he did no other advisor. She was the one who told him what the people wanted, what they were feeling, what was working and what wasn't. She was invaluable to him and he respected her highly.
An anecdote I hazily recall coming from a good source (maybe Roald Dahls auto bio - they were chums during ww2 in DC), was that she was fond of recounting that she was chuffed to hear that a new rose breed had been named after her... until she looked it up. "... not very good in a bed, but fine up against a wall."
Thank you, Anna and Gang! I have long believed Eleanor Roosevelt is THE most unappreciated woman in history. Although she did not always have her desired outcome in affecting FDR's policies, she did steer him in the proper direction more often than not. Her part in the United Nations' Declaration of Human Rights puts her among the great ,leaders of her time. She also visited frontline troops throughout the War and, in doing so, put herself at risk as a true warrior for the United States. Love, David
Had the pleasure of reading this woman's autobiography when I was a lot younger. But I regrettably remember very little of it. Regardless she was extraordinary for her day. I respect the hell out of her.
Her appearance on what's my line and the response of the panelists when she answers questions in her own voice tells you all you need to know about her impact, instant recognition and awe.
At the intersection of 72nd Street and the Henry Hudson Parkway in Manhattan is an Eleanor Roosevelt Memorial. I learned this last weekend when I was in New York for a weekend trip.
And this is why I am glad I find the TG Army and watch. So much of Mrs. Roosevelt I had no idea about until Anna and the rest of the crew put it to tape. Thanks!
Theodore Roosevelt Jr. was also a General who led his troops on the 1st wave at Utah Beach despite having a bad heart and arthritis. I hope he will get a bio in a few years.
The two greatest documentaries ever on the second world war with the biggest effect is of course your world war two & the world at war both excellent series thank you so much= NEVER FORGET
She was a beautiful person. Roosevelt himself was and still is highly regarded as one of the best presidents this country has ever seen, but clearly not without due criticism. I can understand why Roosevelt believed internment was necessary at the time.
The more I find out about her the more I love her. She was an amazing person who truly cared. If our politicians and their wives or husbands were just half the person she was you’d be amazed what we could accomplish. Just think if each of strived to be that ourselves, too.
Thank you for this episode, however 11 minutes is not nearly long enough for a biography on this woman. To this day Eleanor Roosevelt still isn't getting the credit she deserves for all that she did!
Hi anna Nice to see you in biography special epsisode.. Never knew about all details about elenaor roosevelt before.. Now i knew about her work.. Nice history lesson learned.. Thanks..🙏👍😊
Her role presiding the drafting committee of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights is of note. We are still today indebted to her dedication towards her fellow human beings.
Eleanor Roosevelt visited my grandmother’s schoolhouse in camp. My grandmother hated FDR because of internment, but always had warm feelings for Eleanor and always spoke highly of her. If Eleanor had been able to run for President, my grandmother might have stayed a Democrat.
Damn i didnt know how much eleanor did for our country. She is one hell of a person! Also shame on fdr for betraying his wife. I hope she’s resting in peace knowing that she had a positive impact on world
So I was listening to Anna speak about nurses and marriage and it dawned on me that I actually have some prescient information. My grandmother was a head nurse here in Palm Beach and was personally nurse to Jack and Rose Kennedy. Which I still have one of Jack’s handkerchiefs. My grandmother graduated nursing school in March of 1932 and her marriage was announced in May of 1932 I believe. My aunt was born shortly after that. My family’s company has their name on a number of historic sites around Palm Beach as they were a construction company. Feel free to reach out.
An articulate, strong, and clear description of the many careers (which eventually-long after the War-led to her work in the United Nations) of one of America’s greatest social reformers, politicians, and women...Anna Deinhart is the *ideal* person to have hosted and narrated this special episode.
What about Edith Wilson? For a time, Mrs. Wilson was running things because her husband was too ill and the laws to declare President Wilson incapacitated and replace him as president didn't exist yet.
I was one of the last scholarship kids at Roosevelt University in Chicago in the 1980s (before it devolved into yet another "business" school.) I was lucky enough to study under some of the last remaining European "refugee professors" who could have taught at far more prestigious universities but chose instead to devote their remaining years to Eleanor's dream of a widespread, "democratic" higher education. Amazing people.
There's more families having roses in their arms probably (English Wars of the Roses is a nice reference). The Roosevelts being of Dutch origin and their name literally meaning "roses field" I would assume the roses are no reference to English nobility; just to their name.
The sad part of FDR's affair with Eleanor's social secretary is that despite being threatened with divorce and being financially cut off by his mom, he continued the affair, and she was also with him when FDR died. It's ironic also that FDR is a Democrat icon because he only became a Democrat only because Teddy Roosevelt would have overshadowed any political ambition that FDR had
FDR's father was a Democrat, so him being a Democrat had NOTHING to do with Teddy. The parties were not nearly as polarized as they are now, except when talking about the Southern Democrat Party. In some ways, the Southern Democrats were their own party and only loosely affiliated with the Northern Democrats that FDR was part of. Also, don't forget, Teddy gave the Republican party the middle finger and formed his OWN party, taking most of the progressives in the Republican party with him. When the Bull Moose Party became defunct those progressives didn't go back to the GOP, they went to the Democratic Party. Phase 1 of the Political Paradigm Shift which would see its final phase in 1968 when all the Southern Democrats became Republicans.
"The WORLD's first lady"? I'd give that title to Queen Elizabeth, wife of George VI, personally - "The most dangerous woman in Europe" according to Hitler.
Warren Harding's wife Florence was widely considered the power behind the throne, even in the White House, and it is likely that without her the rather easy-going Harding might not have had the drive to make it to the presidency.
I always felt that Eleanor was by far the better half of the couple. If she had had her way, the racial issue the US faces today would be far less. It is sad to say but one of the best things in her life was the death of FDR because it freed her from the need to be a "good" wife.
Wounded GI: Before her visit, I thought Elenor Roosevelt was the ugliest woman on earth. After her visit, I felt she was the most beautiful woman on earth.
I wonder if FDR didn't allow interment of Japanese-Americans, if they would of been able to get him out of office because of it and put someone else in that would
My grandmother took great delight in meeting Eleanor Roosevelt while visiting a mutual friend in a New York City hospital. She said she was so star struck she could barely say a word to her!

All I know is that the name Roosevelt is of Dutch origin. I guess you'd have to compare is to Dutch and British coat of Arms.
There's more families having roses in their arms probably (English Wars of the Roses is a nice reference).
The Roosevelts being of Dutch origin and their name literally meaning "roses field" I would assume the roses are no reference to English nobility; just to their name.
No, that coat of arms comes from the old Van Rosenvelt's (translation is something like "on the rose field") of Tholen in SW Holland.
Better recheck your resources. They're not related.
She looked exactly like Steve Buscemi in the thumbnail
She wasn't known for her looks.
Elenor Roosevelt has been said to be asexual and also had her own affair with a female journalist
At the 8:10 mark I could hear Othias saying "And then war were declared."
The sad part of FDR's affair with Eleanor's social secretary is that despite being threatened with divorce and being financially cut off by his mom, he continued the affair, and she was also with him when FDR died. It's ironic also that FDR is a Democrat icon because he only became a Democrat only because Teddy Roosevelt would have overshadowed any political ambition that FDR had
Always liked Elenore more than FDR ( who I view rather dimly )
FDR's father was a Democrat, so him being a Democrat had NOTHING to do with Teddy. The parties were not nearly as polarized as they are now, except when talking about the Southern Democrat Party. In some ways, the Southern Democrats were their own party and only loosely affiliated with the Northern Democrats that FDR was part of. Also, don't forget, Teddy gave the Republican party the middle finger and formed his OWN party, taking most of the progressives in the Republican party with him. When the Bull Moose Party became defunct those progressives didn't go back to the GOP, they went to the Democratic Party. Phase 1 of the Political Paradigm Shift which would see its final phase in 1968 when all the Southern Democrats became Republicans.
@@timothyhouse1622 I only mentioned it as it would have been difficult to make a name for yourself in Republican politics with Teddy in the same party
"The WORLD's first lady"? I'd give that title to Queen Elizabeth, wife of George VI, personally - "The most dangerous woman in Europe" according to Hitler.
I should add that this in no way detracts from the fact that Eleanor Roosevelt was the most outstanding first lady of the US in its history.
I'm pretty sure ladies existed before Eleanor Roosevelt.
Therefore, Eleanor Roosevelt can't be the world's first lady.
Warren Harding's wife Florence was widely considered the power behind the throne, even in the White House, and it is likely that without her the rather easy-going Harding might not have had the drive to make it to the presidency.
@@stevekaczynski3793 More importantly, though, Florence Harding was, categorically, a lady, thus proving my point.
She also advocated to allow Afroamericans to be allowed to become pilots. There is a quite good movie on this topic "The Tuskegee Airmen".
Thanks 👍 Anna for your "complement" of work of Indy, Spartakus and Astrid. Look from other perspective, interesting
Hannah is also better looking than the three of them put together. That said, I am glad this channel is a team effort.
That's all good and well, but what's with the Steve Buscemi thumbnail?
What a interesting personality . Very interesting video
Annas English is much better than most of my American friends
Fantastic video, Eleanor Roosevelt, a remarkable and interesting human being.
Eleonor was a bad bitch, period.
Eleanor was a great lady
I always felt that Eleanor was by far the better half of the couple. If she had had her way, the racial issue the US faces today would be far less. It is sad to say but one of the best things in her life was the death of FDR because it freed her from the need to be a "good" wife.
6:01 for a man in those days that had to sting
Every lady born before her: am i a joke to you?
Wounded GI: Before her visit, I thought Elenor Roosevelt was the ugliest woman on earth. After her visit, I felt she was the most beautiful woman on earth.
J. Edgar Hoover hated her. Since the FBI kept tabs on peoples' private lives, it is likely he knew about the lesbianism.
@Vasily Chuikov I am sceptical about the cross-dressing claims but suspect that he and his long-time FBI associate Clyde Tolson were an item.
Its still weirds me out that both Eleanor and FDR have the same last name and they marry each other
She joked (in the tv series "Eleanor and Franklin") "It'll be easier on the stationary."
I wonder if FDR didn't allow interment of Japanese-Americans, if they would of been able to get him out of office because of it and put someone else in that would
No, he was extremely popular, probably the most popular president since Washington.
My mother was rather prpud that she got yo meet and shake hands with Eleanor Roosevelt.
My grandmother took great delight in meeting Eleanor Roosevelt while visiting a mutual friend in a New York City hospital. She said she was so star struck she could barely say a word to her!
