That was Eleanor Roosevelt, wife of Franklin and niece of Theodore. She did not have to change her name when she married.
Eleanor Roosevelt's maiden name was Anna Eleanor Roosevelt. She was a distant cousin of FDR, and one of the ways he wooed her was by telling her she wouldn't even have to change her name. She was the daughter of Elliot Roosevelt, Theodore Roosevelt's younger brother.
