Eleanor Roosevelt
First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt Will Personally Support Efforts to Help Women Fight the Depression
4/12/33. <p>The Gentlewomen's League of Washington was an organization particularly active during the Great Depression and was one of the most successful women’s exchanges in the country. Any funds which were collected above the necessary expenses of running the League were turned into a fund for helping the needy women who were constantly coming to the organization for aid. Many of these had once been of means but had been financially stranded by the Depression. Moreover every member of the board gave of her own private funds toward support of the League and hundreds of women sold their goods through the League giving them an income when money was hard to come by.</p><p><strong>Typed letter signed</strong> on White House stationery Washington December 4 1933 to Mrs. William Aspinwall expressing her willingness to support the League financially. <em>“I have asked my housekeeper to keep the Gentlewomen’s League in mind and to buy what she can from there. I will also keep it in mind in respect to any other shopping.â€</em> It comes with the original envelope.</p><p>An interesting insight into Eleanor Roosevelt and her own efforts to help women fight the Great Depression.</p><p><img class=""alignnone size-post-window wp-image-25018"" src=""https://cdn.raabcollection.com/wp-content/uploads/20231204144051/Folder-site-11-1600x1327.jpg"" alt="""" width=""1600"" height=""1327"" /></p> unknown

ELEANOR ROOSEVELT
First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt Mentions Fala The Roosevelts Famous Scottie Dog
ELEANOR ROOSEVELT 1884-1962. Roosevelt was First Lady from 1933 to 1945 as well as a prominent human rights activist.TLS. 1pg. June 11 1943. The White House. A typed letter signed Eleanor Roosevelt as First Lady. On The White House letterhead Roosevelt discusses her famous Presidential dog Fala the Scottish Terrier: Dear Mrs. Tucker: Thank you for your letter. There have been so many things written about Falla sic and there is also a movie and I do not think there is anything I could add to the story of Falla sic and the Princesses. In any case I will not be in New York City with any free time for the next several weeks. Very sincerely yours Eleanor Roosevelt. The movie Roosevelt refers to was produced by MGM about life in the White House. During his final Presidential campaign the following year FDR would make a speech refuting claims that he had forgotten Fala in the Aleutian Islands and sent a destroyer to reclaim him at taxpayer expense saying that he felt justified in objecting to libel surrounding his dog. Fala is represented alongside FDR on his memorial in Washington D.C. It is in very good condition with an area of toning. unknown

First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt Writes About Relief Efforts For The Greek Famine During World War Ii
ELEANOR ROOSEVELT 1884-1962. The wife of FDR Roosevelt was First Lady of the United States from 1933-1945 as well as a noted humanitarian throughout her life.TLS. 1pg. January 6 1944.

On White House letterhead Roosevelt wrote to about the problem of providing relief to Greeks who were starving due to a war-related famine. Dear Mrs. Butler: I have your letter and a copy of Senate Resolution 100. Such a resolution would have no value. Everyone would like to be able to feed the people of Europe. The State Department and Governor Lehmans committee are doing everything they can. The pattern for Greece cannot be followed because Greece has nothing the Germans could take out. The difficulties of transportation add greatly to the problem. It is heartbreking sic to think of starving children and I know every effort is being made to work out some plan which will not prolong the war. Very sincerely yours Eleanor Roosevelt. Lehman refers to former Governor of New York Herbert Lehman who was working with the State Department and United Nations on such relief efforts. The letter is in very good condition with some folds. unknown

Eleanor Roosevelt
India and the Awakening East inscribed by Eleanor Roosevelt
<p>New York: Harper & Brothers 1953. First edition. Hardcover. This is a presentation copy of the first edition inscribed by Eleanor Roosevelt to Emerson J. Griffith Director of Oregon's Works Projects Administration WPA during the presidency of the authors husband Franklin D. Roosevelt. <br /><br />Eleanors inscription inked in three lines in black on the half title reads To Mr. & Mrs. E. J. Griffith with warm regards & thanks Eleanor Roosevelt. Affixed to the facing front free endpaper recto is the illustrated bookplate of EMERSON J. GRIFFITH prominently displaying Timberline Lodge with Mt. Hood in the background. <br /><br />Condition is very good in a good plus dust jacket. The binding of quarter black cloth over brick red cloth-covered boards is square tight and clean with only trivial shelf wear to the corners and spine ends. The contents are clean with no spotting. FIRST EDITION is helpfully printed on the title page verso. Mild age-toning appears substantially confined to the otherwise clean page edges. The dust jacket has a neatly price-clipped upper front flap wear to the joints and flap folds a small stain to the lower rear joint and a toned spine. The dust jacket is protected beneath a clear removable archival cover. <br /><br />As Oregons WPA Director the recipient Emerson Griffith 1884-1965 conceived and spearheaded construction of the famous Timberline Lodge located at an elevation of nearly 6000 feet on the south side of Mount Hood. More than just a praiseworthy structure the 40000 square foot Timberline Lodge is a National Historic Landmark that today attracts more than 2 million visitors per year. At the time the Lodge proved a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to harness a remarkable convocation of artists and craftsmen who desperately needed the work during the Great Depression. The result was an explosion of creativity much the same as what made Europes soaring Gothic cathedrals such masterpieces. Griffith in a telegram said of the work These men indeed feel they are putting their skill into a cathedral. Come up from the depths of despair they work with a spiritual exaltation that sometimes amazes me. On 28 September 1937 President Roosevelt was present to dedicate Timberline Lodge a ceremony carried live on radio. Timberline Hotel remains an enduring monument to the best impulses and outcomes of Roosevelts WPA. The iconic silhouette of Timberline Lodge is widely recognized and served as the exterior of the hotel in the movie The Shining 1980. <br /><br />Called First Lady of the World by President Truman for her humanitarian work Eleanor Roosevelt 1884-1962 was the first US Representative to the United Nations Commission on Human Rights a prolific writer including dozens of books hundreds of articles and editorials and a daily newspaper column from 1936-1962 and the longest-serving first lady of the United States. <br /><br />India and the Awakening East is Eleanor Roosevelts account of her 1952 journey through the Middle East and Far East including Lebanon Pakistan Syria Trans-Jordan Israel and India. <br /><br />Newly independent India was trying to establish a functional democracy and had just held its first general elections between October 1951 and February 1952. Fractiously engaged with Pakistan and a notional geopolitical counterweight to communist China India was of increasing importance to the West. The political landscape and considerations do not sound appreciably different nearly three quarters of a century later. Likewise enduring is the first-person perspective of someone as astute engaged seasoned and engaging as ER particular as a witness to Indias nascence. <br /><br />While the trip was unofficial such was Eleanors stature and temperament that she could never be an unaffecting observer. President Trumans Secretary of State Dean Acheson wrote President Truman to say of ERs tour that it "served the public interest exceedingly well" and that "she appears to have done much to increase understanding of United States foreign policy objectives". </p> Harper & Brothers hardcover

Eleanor Roosevelt
It's Up to the Women
<p>New York: Frederick A. Stokes Company 1933. First edition. Hardcover. This is a first edition of Eleanor Roosevelts first book Its Up to the Women. Eleanor published this book in 1933 concurrent with the first inauguration of her husband Franklin D. Roosevelt in part as a declaration of her intended transformative approach to the role of First Lady. <br /><br />This example is a strikingly bright and clean fine example in a very good minus dust jacket. The light teal cloth binding printed in dark teal and black is beautifully clean square and tight with sharp corners and no appreciable wear. The contents are likewise remarkably clean free of spotting or previous ownership marks. The deckled fore and bottom edges are likewise immaculate. The top edge shows only a trivial hint of shelf dust. The dust jacket is unclipped retaining the original $1.25 front flap price and substantially complete with only fractional loss to the joint and flap fold extremities. The jacket is also notably clean. There is a 1.5 inch 3.81 cm closed tear with attendant wrinkling to the lower right of the front face and light overall wear to the extremities and joints. The spine is evenly toned but the blue title and author print a notably unliberated Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt remains clearly legible. The dust jacket is protected beneath a clear removable archival cover. <br /><br />Called First Lady of the World by President Truman for her humanitarian work Eleanor Roosevelt 1884-1962 was the first US Representative to the United Nations Commission on Human Rights a prolific writer including dozens of books hundreds of articles and editorials and a daily newspaper column from 1936-1962 and the longest-serving first lady of the United States. <br /><br />When her husband Franklin Delano Roosevelt was running for president in the fall of 1932 as the likely election winner Eleanor had already independently made for herself a name in Democratic politics as a spokesperson for the newly enfranchised woman voter labor advocate in the midst of the Great Depression a vocal promoter of civil rights and the head of the Womens Division of the Democratic National Committee since 1928. She feared her impending role as First Lady a heretofore purely social and apolitical role would necessitate a quieting of her convictions and force her to step down from her political positions; she even told friends that she would divorce FDR should he win rather than lose her independence. <br /><br />After FDRs unprecedented victory securing 42 of 48 states Eleanor made the decision to transform her new position rather than yield to it. In January she announced that she would write and publish a book before the March inauguration. The result was Its Up to the Women which was as The Hartford Courant called it a book of general counsel and advice on pretty well everything from dish-washing to high diplomacy. Topics ranged from recipes for hot stuffed eggs to advice for women in negotiating salaries equal to their male counterparts to counsel for women seeking public office.
