Eleanor Roosevelt was the First Lady of the United States from 1933-1945, while her husband Franklin D Roosevelt was President. Eleanor Roosevelt ran for State Senate and wrote an autobiography. She also drafted the Declaration of Human Rights.
The purpose of the Universal Declaration of human rights was to allow each person around the world equal rights. To allow each person life, liberty, and security of person. This was drafted the Human Rights Commission with Eleanor Roosevelt as the chairwoman.
