From a young age, she had first-hand knowledge of what the job of the first lady was like because she had seen her aunt, Edith Roosevelt, serve as a hostess during the majority of her time in the White House (Spangenburg 60). But Edith Roosevelt was not the only example that Eleanor Roosevelt could look at. Lou Henry Hoover, the first lady before Eleanor Roosevelt, studied at Stanford University and formed her own organization to help Americans returning home from World War I. Even though she was just as successful and independent as Roosevelt, Hoover still found it hard to continue building up her own career when she moved into the white house and yielded to the pressure to adopt the role of the traditional first lady(Scharf 85).…

She urged her husband, the President himself, to appoint women to his advisory and cabinet positions, therefore, furthering her cause to place women into the world of politics.
