Comments on: Women, Ignorance, and Eleanor Roosevelt http://blog-aauw.org/2009/10/09/women-ignorance-and-eleanor-roosevelt/ Thu, 16 Feb 2012 15:00:04 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Sandy Kirkpatrick http://blog-aauw.org/2009/10/09/women-ignorance-and-eleanor-roosevelt/#comment-4345 Mon, 12 Oct 2009 16:18:20 +0000 http://blog-aauw.org/?p=3658#comment-4345 Nice post, Christy. I agree that the White House’s website bio of Eleanor Roosevelt is woefully inadequate — embarrassingly so! For those who want to read a wonderful tribute to Eleanor, I recommend the article published in the Poughkeepsie (NY) Journal yesterday: http://www.poughkeepsiejournal.com/article/20091011/NEWS01/910110359

She did much for women and antiracism work also.. I recently presented a 10 minute piece on her life, (dressed as Eleanor and her hats) at my Womanspirit group at the First Unitarian Society in Milwaukee honoring her 125 Birthday, it was so well received. I will do a similar presentation at our north shore Milwaukee AAUW Branch meeting in two weeks, here I will request money for our EF fund in her name. A worthy women of America.

Thanks for this great posting on Eleanor and her impact on women. She was a special woman.
