Trivia
Quit the DAR (Daughters of the American Revolution) because they wouldn't allow contralto Marian Anderson to perform in Constitution Hall - the only venue large enough to accommodate the audience that Ms. Anderson would draw - because she was African-American. Mrs. Roosevelt then made arrangements for Miss Anderson's concert to be performed on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. More than 75,000 people attended.

Quotes
Marriage and the upbringing of children in the home require as well-trained a mind and as well-disciplined a character as any other occupation that might be considered a career.
