"For her (Eleanor Roosevelt) , democracy was a "way of life" based on "belief in the value of each individual" and a democratic society was one in which everyone had access jobs, adequate housing , health care, and education"

" The problem is not to learn tolerance of your neighbors, but to see that all alike have hope and opportunity" she wrote in 1945.

"when American people become apathetic and do not keep control of their government in their own hands, it is bound to slip into the hands of those who make politics a profession.Therefore, because of their indifference, the American people may sometimes find themselves slaves of representatives who do no not really represent them." (June 1946)

Although Eleanor Roosevelt wrote regularly in magazines from 1930 to 1962, much of her advice has proven to be timeless.Many times her answers were so candid the the editors of Ladies Home Journal and McCall Magazine included a disclaimer that her views were not necessarily those of the magazines. It was amazing to see that over 40 years later , we are still facing many of the same issues: intolerance, racism, women's rights, apathy in the citizenry and urging people to vote and volunteer to keep democracy working.
