[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm still getting over the fact that the OP wants to honor both FDR and Reagan.  Don't they like, cancel each other out, like matter and anti-matter or something?  One of them basically built the federal government, and the other tried to dismantle it.  Or is it just about picking someone who was good with the media?  I guess they both also survived the White House with a hidden disability (FDR's polio, and Reagan's Alzheimer's).

Eleanor Roosevelt was an amazing woman.  Harriet Tubman also.  Frances Perkins is another good one. [/quote]

My mother is an amazing woman too.[/quote]

What are your mother's human rights accomplishments? Was she also involved in drafting the Universal Declaration of Human Rights? Has she served as a delegate to the United Nations? Do tell. [/quote]

Wait, I'm a bit lost. Are you saying that Tubman or Mankiller (what a name, btw) were involved in drafting the Universal Declaration of Human Rights? Eleanor Roosevelt is the only one in that bunch with significant accomplishments of her down. The others were great women--like my mom is--but nothing of that caliber.[/quote]

Wait did you just say that Harriet Tubman did not have a significant accomplishment of her own???[/quote]

It certainly depends on what you define as "significant," but if you define it as global impact and recognition, nothing like Roosevelt's. [/quote]

That's a pretty specific definition of the word.

Do you think she would have had this role if not for her husband?  [/quote]

That's a great question. Probably not. But i am not sure that matters much, think Hillary Clinton.[/quote]
