The White House Historical Association and the Eleanor Roosevelt Papers Project present this collaboration in an effort to open a window into the Roosevelt White House. From 1935 to 1962, First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt wrote a syndicated column entitled "My Day." This project selects representative samples of those columns, focused on the White House years, to display Mrs. Roosevelt’s thoughts on a number of events, issues, and challenges from the Great Depression and World War II eras. To enhance the research and columns in this collection, thematic essays and video commentary have been included from the director of the Eleanor Roosevelt Papers Project, Allida M. Black.
