Anna Eleanor Roosevelt (October 11, 1884 – November 7, 1962) was the First Lady of the United States from 1933 to 1945. She supported the New Deal policies of her husband, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and became an advocate for civil rights. After her husband's death in 1945, Roosevelt continued to be an internationally prominent author, speaker, politician, and activist for the New Deal coalition. She worked to enhance the status of working women, although she opposed the Equal Rights Amendment because she believed it would adversely affect women.

Her son Elliott Roosevelt suggested that her "reservations about Catholicism" were rooted in her husband's sexual affairs with Lucy Mercer and Missy LeHand, who were both Catholics.

For years there have been allegations that Eleanor Roosevelt was sexually abused by either her governess or her father or even by her uncles. Alhough there is no substantial proof that Eleanor was in fact sexually abused by her governess, there are some factors that make the charges of abuse plausible. First, Eleanor was always a quiet and unassertive child, making her a vulnerable target for abuse. In fact, Eleanor did not suggest any unhappiness to her grandmother until the age of thirteen, seven years after Madeleine began caring for her. At thirteen she broke down to her grandmother, and remembered that she could not stop sobbing as she “confessed” it. The use of the word “confession” indicates that whatever the nature of the abuse, psychological, physical or sexual, Eleanor felt that she was responsible for it, making the consequences of abuse even more disastrous. Though she did not remember what she confessed, whatever it was compelled her grandmother to immediately dismiss Madeleine and replace her. Eleanor’s patchy account of the event seems evidence of the defense mechanism known as repression. Often, when girls are physically or sexually abused at a young age they block out their memories of the events. Eleanor Roosevelt’s ability to remember that she was deeply upset and terrified and her inability to recall why she was upset suggest repression.

A member of the extended Roosevelt family, Elizabeth Winthrop, wrote a novel, In her Mother’s House, which describes sexual abuse of a daughter by a man modeled after Elliott. It is quite clear that the Roosevelt family believed that Elliot had inflicted some kind of abuse on Eleanor.

Eleanor Roosevelt’s quotes appear on many sexual abuse and physical abuse websites:

I gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which I must stop and look fear in the face.

I say to myself, “I’ve lived though this and can take the next thing that comes along”

We must do the things we think we cannot do, if we wish to grow and really live life.
