Eleanor Roosevelt: Her Story, Her Day

Lynn Rymarz embodies Eleanor Roosevelt, sharing Eleanor’s story in words woven from her writings—her journey through family, the White House, and WWII, and the courage to defy expectations.

Hear Eleanor’s story told in her own words woven from her writings, including her long running newspaper column, My Day. Discover the path that led her on the journey to her marriage to Franklin Delano Roosevelt, to a mother of six children, to the White House, where she will tell you of her work during WWII.  She will share with you how she gained the confidence to step out of the traditional role of women and how she faced her fears, celebrated her joys, and grew from her struggles as a daughter, a wife, a mother and a friend. Performed by Lynn Rymarz. 

This event is part of the America 250 initiative, celebrating our nation throughout the year.
