[Surnetkids] Eleanor Roosevelt

Dear Reader,

I’ve spent the last couple of weeks putting a brand new face on Surf Net Parents, a parenting blog I started shortly after SurfNetKids. If you are a blogger or a writer, and have something to share with other parents, please take a look at our Guest Blogger program. I am still working through a small backlog of guest posts to edit and publish, but would love to have a Surfnetkids reader (or two) represented there!

See ya on the Net,

Eleanor Roosevelt (October 11, 1884 – November 7, 1962) created a new standard for First Ladies because instead of retreating to a private life of decorating and entertaining, Eleanor continued her public life by holding press conferences, giving lectures, doing radio broadcasts, and writing a daily syndicated newspaper column. She was an outspoken advocate for social justice for women and minorities both during her stint as First Lady of the United States (1933-1945) and afterwards.
