Who influenced Eleanor roosevelt?
In a 1951 in a article, Eleanor Roosevelt listed seven people who in her estimation, shaped her life. The first two were her father and mother: her father provided her love and reassurance, and her mother gave her the unattainable goal of perfection. Madame Marie Souvestre, headmistress and a teacher at Allenswood School, gave her a sense of confidence, and her Aunt Pussie (Mrs. W. Forbes Morgan) taught her discipline.
But, it was the personalities of her husband and her mother-in-law that exerted the greatest influence on her development.

What challenges did Eleanor Roosevelt face?
By many accounts, Eleanor Roosevelt was the first "modern" First Lady. That is, she was a public figure, she was outspoken on issues other than just traditionally "female" subjects, and she used the mass media of her day (radio and print journalism) to express her opinions and advocate for the causes she believed in. This was not always received well by everyone in her society. Although she was very popular with many Americans, the fact that she was ahead of her time also made her unpopular and controversial with certain people who felt she was too public and too outspoken. These traditionalists wanted a First Lady who stayed in the background and "knew her place." Eleanor was certainly willing to raise her kids and talk about recipes. But she was also eager to improve the lives of black people and advance the role of women in society.
Her major obstacle was that it was the 1930s when she became First Lady, a very traditional time in American life. America was still segregated, and she had to accept that fact, whether she agreed with it or not, since a First Lady could not change the laws. Also, her desire to change things was complicated by the Great Depression: some middle and upper class women had made gains during the 1920s, entering college, finding work in non-traditional professions like law and medicine and business. But during the Depression, jobs were difficult to find and there was pressure on women to leave the workplace and stay at home, so that the men could take what few jobs there were. So, not only was Eleanor ahead of her time in being public and outspoken, but some of what she wanted to achieve for women and minorities was being thwarted by cultural beliefs and economic conditions.
