Oh, yes, that is true! Eleanor Roosevelt was a very active woman who was as strong a leader as her husband (the president). Did you know that she chaired the committee that approved the Universal Declaration on Human Rights, which is still used today?

Here's a great quote from Eleanor Roosevelt about the power of women: "A woman is like a tea bag. You can't tell how strong she is until you put her in hot water."
