Eleanor Roosevelt
Eleanor Roosevelt was an inspiration to many Americans, as she refused to simply serve as a hostess in the White House.
At her many press conferences, she spoke out about human rights, children’s causes, and women’s issues, and she worked side by side with the League of Women Voters.
In 1918, Eleanor found out that Franklin was having an affair with her social secretary, Lucy Mercer.
This was by far one of the most traumatic events that happened in her life, as she later told Joseph Lash, her friend, and biographer.
Franklin was very mindful of his political career and he feared the loss of his mother’s financial support, so he refused Eleanor’s offer of a divorce and agreed to stop seeing Mercer.

Most of these are ok .. Love is too strong of a word for these women . The only one I would take off is Michele Obama – whose husband was the Great Divider. I credit the two of them with the surge in Identity politics. They failed to look at the merits of individuals and can be credited with the beginning of tribal politics.
Yeah, when you ask democrats who their favorites are you are going to get democrats as the favorites… Should try asking all Americans and you get a different picture!
Don’t ever put twerking lying Michelle Obama uo here. She hates America! Remember “all this for a damn flag?”
Jackie Kennedy and Melania Trump are tied for first place!
Michelle Obama is not to be admired! She clearly dislikes white people and this country. She has a chip on her shoulder and feels its fine to openly display her dislike of America often. She often has a sour ugly look on her face. Many believe Obama married her because he thought she would be an asset to his career as a black professional. Now that road is finished and sadly many feel he will leave the marriage.
