Letters to Eleanor: Voices of the Great Depression examines how the
flood of letters from ordinary Americans to the First Lady
established a bond of hope and trust. Through this paper trail,
Eleanor Roosevelt was able to help many petitioners find jobs,
food, housing, and clothes. To others she offered the encouragement
and support many need in the bleak Thirties. Through it all Eleanor
Roosevelt exhibited a tradionalist social outlook by her support of
homemakers and opposition to the Equal Rights Amendment. But as the
New Deal matured, she became an ardent reformer who fought for an
anti-lynching law and job opportunity for women in the federal
service. Buy beneath her incessant activity to help others there
was an inner Eleanor who constantly sought emotional support from
female colleagues or her distant correspondents, a support she did
not receive form FDR or her family.
