　　Questions 11 to 15

　　M: Welcome to Book Talk. Today we are talking to Jane Barleau. She just wrote a new book about Eleanor Roosevelt. Professor Barleau, why was Eleanor Roosevelt such an important woman in US history?

　　W: Well, she was a very unusual woman. In her time, she did things that most women didn’t do.

　　M: Like what for example?

　　W: Well, she worked in politics. When her husband was governor of New York, he became sick and he couldn’t walk. So Eleanor did some of his work.

　　M: She traveled a lot for him, didn’t she?

　　W: Yes, she traveled all around New York and made political speeches for her husband and she really enjoyed it.

　　M: And what did people in New York think of her then?

　　W: Oh, they loved her. So then in 1933, when FDR became president of the United States, Eleanor was already popular. She became a new kind of first lady.

　　M: What do you mean?

　　W: Well, most first ladies were not very independent, but Eleanor wanted to be different. She had her own ideas and she wanted to speak out about them.

　　M: What kind of ideas? Could you give us an example?

　　W: Sure. Eleanor wanted every person to go to school and have a good job. She especially wanted to help women, children and poor people. And she wanted peace in the world, so she spoke out about her ideas. She wrote in the newspaper, she spoke on the radio, and she traveled all over the world.

　　M: I know people everywhere respected her.

　　W: Yes, she was so strong and independent and she really wanted to help people. But some people didn’t like her.

　　M: Really?

　　W: Look, Eleanor wasn’t a traditional woman. Some people said she was too strong and independent. They even said she was ugly.

　　M: Really? How did Eleanor feel when she heard those things?

　　W: Well, Eleanor Roosevelt was a strong woman, so she just laughed.

　　M: Professor Barleau, there are so many books about Eleanor Roosevelt, why did you want to write one too?

　　W: Well, I felt that most writers, especially men, didn’t really understand Eleanor’s life. I wanted to give a woman’s point of view.

　　M: What do you mean?

　　W: Well, for example, everybody knows that FDR was not a good husband. So many writers said Eleanor was unhappy all her life.

　　M: And what do you think?

　　W: I think that’s not true. I mean of course Eleanor was unhappy for a while, her husband didn’t love her anymore, she was very angry. For two years she couldn’t eat or sleep well, but as time passed, Eleanor’s feeling changed, she stopped feeling angry.

　　M: Really?

　　W: Yes, Eleanor thought that a good marriage wasn’t the only way for her to be happy. She remembered the important lessons that she learned from her teacher Marie Sylvester. And she decided to have an independent life.

　　M: How did she do that?

　　W: Well, Eleanor had her work. It was important and she loved it. But she also had many good friends, both women and men. Her work and her friendships made her very happy.

　　M: Professor Jane Barleau, thank you for talking with us today.

　　W: Thank you Henry.
