Eleanor was quickly changing the role of the first lady, even through her activeness in politics. She was a strong advocate for many groups such as women, children, minorities and the poor. As the First Lady, she was doing things that had never been done before, like holding her own press conferences. She also tried to help women get jobs by asking all women reporters to come to her press conferences. In doing this she hoped that editors would hire more women (Morey, 46-47).

“Success must include two things: the development of an individual to his utmost potentiality and a contribution of some kind to one 's world” (Roosevelt, p 119, 1960). Eleanor Roosevelt was born in New York City October 11th, 1884 (Burns, 2012). Having grown up in a family considered to be in the top of society, Eleanor could have focused her life on parties and social gatherings. However, Eleanor came to the realization that she preferred social work rather than to attend parties with the rich (Burns, 2012). Eleanor is a perfect example of an effective leader in three ways, she was a lifelong learner, she used her position in life to better the society as a whole and she faced her many fears and flaws with life lessons she used later on.

Franklin, stared down by two deadly diseases, survived both (although admittedly ending up crippled), and rose up to become the 32th president, and the only president to be re-elected for four terms. By proving to the world through overcoming his obstacles that he was determined, he provided a confident and secure leadership during the Great Depression, and World War II. Eleanor Roosevelt, originally a very serious persona, shows a more definite, compassionate persona to the public after her husband’s polio. In fact, her past experiences with grief and death (as she was overcoming obstacles after the death of most of her immediate family) made her the perfect person to travel around the country to comfort grieving family, and friends. Her overcoming obstacles (along with Franklin) caused her to inadvertently to overcome other obstacles such as her shyness, and become more of a role model, or place for inspiration.
