After being the First Lady for twelve years, one month, one week, and one day; she was part of the United Nations where she wrote The Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
Women's Trade Union League:"Led by both women of the elite class who had worked in the settlement movement and working-class women labor leaders, this organization sought to enlist more women members into trade unions, notably in the garment industry and to lobby state legislatures and Congress on fair wages and work hours. Eleanor Roosevelt also made enormous monetary contributions to the organization."
The League of Women Voters:"With the goal of educating women on candidates and political issues, and engaging them into the political process, at both the state and national levels, the League was an important stepping stone for Eleanor Roosevelt’s own political seasoning. Chairing a Legislation Committee, she conducted in depth research on pending congressional bills and wrote a summary report of it with attorney and fellow member Elizabeth Read who would become a lifelong friend along with Read’s life partner, consumer advocate and educator Esther Lape. As a county and state delegate she attended the New York State and national conventions of the league, widening her circle of fellow women reformists and activists, and delivering lectures on policy related to infant mortality, and health, employment and housing issues facing women. She actively helped the state league achieve its goal of creating a division in every state county."
World Peace Movement and Bok Peace Prize Committee:"As a vigorous supporter of Eleanor Roosevelt helped to organize and chair with her friend Esther Lape a committee which sought to award the best plan that would ensure eventual world peace. the US participate in this global justice system. It had been proposed by the former Ladies Home Journal editor Edward W. Bok. Her role was to establish a bipartisan Jury selection board of prominent Americans who would review the over 22,000 entries the committee received and to then promote the winning plan. The winner of the prize was to be awarded $100,000, half of which was to implement the winning plan if it was approved by the US Senate or a majority of the American people. The prize was awarded to former Adelphi College president Charles Levermore, who proposed immediate US cooperation with the “World Court,” the informal name of the Permanent Court of International Justice, a provision created under the League of Nations. The contest created controversy, with charges that the effort was seeking to improperly influence Congress and going against the prevailing isolationist US foreign policy sentiment at the time. Eleanor Roosevelt accompanied Esther Lape when she was called upon to testify before the Senate Special Committee on Propoganda. "
