Forming a unique political alliance with her husband, she played a key role in the Democratic party and shaped many of the programs of the New Deal. She later became an official delegate to the United Nations, where she served as chair of the Commission on Human Rights. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWritten expressly for high school students, this biography clearly and concisely relates the life of Eleanor Roosevelt to the times in which she lived.
