In my mind Eleanor did many great things to help our country with civil rights and other acts of kindness. I wish that she would have been treated with a little more respect by FDR and wish he wouldn't have cheated on her. She deserved much better in my mind. I think it would have been great to have lived during her time and I believe she did many great things for our country.
