Eleanor Roosevelt is often referred to as the reluctant first lady because she initially felt unprepared and hesitant about fulfilling the role. She was an independent and outspoken woman who had her own political ambitions, which were not traditionally aligned with the expectations placed on first ladies at the time. However, she eventually embraced her position as first lady and became a trailblazer in advocating for social and human rights.
