"My own work had to go on regardless of anything else" (Roosevelt pg. 197).
This quote from Eleanor Roosevelt's autobiography shows her strength as a person and her commitment to all that she did. I was quite surprised when I first began reading her autobiography - somehow she manages to do all that is required of her as First Lady and also find time to explore her own interests. She integrates her positions on subjects into her husband's presidency and even sometimes acts as an adviser; she makes sure that her voice is heard while maintaining her commitment to the journal and magazine articles she was to write. She kept these articles as top priorities and made a significant effort to make sure that her readers would receive a new column no matter what else she had going on in the White House.
