Abstract (type = abstract)
While there are many books, articles, and other resources that discuss Eleanor Roosevelt’s life, work, and contributions to the causes of social, economic, and political equality in the United States, few consider at length the impact that her personal relationships with civil rights activists had on her political evolution over the course of her life. Recent biographies have acknowledged these relationships but do not delve deeply into the ways that Roosevelt was influenced over time by the interdependence between the external events of the outside world and the friendships that she formed with activists such as NAACP Executive Director Walter White, stateswoman and educator Mary McLeod Bethune, and most significantly, the lawyer, educator, and writer, Pauli Murray. To this end, this thesis will examine Roosevelt’s political and public writings, her personal correspondence, Pauli Murray’s autobiographies, oral history interviews, and correspondence with others, as well as secondary sources, including books, articles, essays, and other scholarship on Eleanor Roosevelt, her friendships and political relationships, and the same on Murray and her life, work, and identity.
