Subject and Association Descriptionhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eleanor_Roosevelt:
Anna Eleanor Roosevelt (/ˈɛlɪnɔːr ˈroʊzəvɛlt/ EL-in-or ROH-zə-velt; October 11, 1884 – November 7, 1962) was an American political figure, diplomat, and activist.

Widowed in 1945, she served as a United States delegate to the United Nations General Assembly from 1945 to 1952, and took a leading role in designing the text and gaining international support for the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

Truman later called her the "First Lady of the World" in tribute to her human rights achievements [continues].
