From the comments:

World War Two
1 day ago (edited)
As we keep seeing when looking at the Homefront, it is often women who shape life during the Second World War with men away at the front. Leading roles are still very much filled by men though, so it is a welcome change to see a woman stand up for female interests in politics: Eleanor Roosevelt, the First Lady of America during the Great Depression and the Second World War, is known for her activism for social causes and fighting for the rights of people often at the bottom of society. Considering the amount of energy she was able to channel into these causes, it is surprising how complicated her personal life was. Even today she stands as a role model for the First Ladies to follow in her place.

Cheers,
Fiona
