I started the Women in History (WIH) series which is designed to honor the women who came before us and paved the way for our future. Any one is welcome to hide caches in this series. I do recommend the process of building it as a puzzle designed to have people read about them. Due to inconsistent web information, I post the information on the cache page for people to learn about the person and come up with the correct answers. All information needed to solve the puzzle can be found on the cache page.
Anna Eleanor Roosevelt (/ˈɛlɪnɔːr ˈroʊzəvɛlt/ EL-in-or ROH-zə-velt; October 11, 1884 – November 7, 1962) was an American political figure, diplomat, and activist. She was the longest-serving first lady of the United States, during her husband Franklin D. Roosevelt's four terms as president from 1933 to 1945. Through her travels, public engagement, and advocacy, she largely redefined the role. Widowed in 1945, she served as a United States delegate to the United Nations General Assembly from 1945 to 1952, and took a leading role in designing the text and gaining international support for the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. In 1948, she was given a standing ovation by the assembly upon their adoption of the declaration. President Harry S. Truman called her the "First Lady of the World" in tribute to her human rights achievements.
