I will not be your little china doll: Representations of Eleanor Roosevelt in film and television

Angela Beauchamp

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

Considered by many to be the most important American woman of the twentieth century, Eleanor Roosevelt appears or is referenced in more than four hundred film and television programs both as a character or documentary subject, not including her own newsreel and television media. Docudrama, biographical film, and documentary appearances from Great Day (1945) through the fourteen-hour Ken Burns series The Roosevelts: An Intimate History (2014) indicate her importance in public memory.
