Our Day Newsletter
"My Day" was the six-day-a-week newspaper column Eleanor Roosevelt wrote from December 30, 1935, until September 27, 1962. In 1961, at Eleanor Roosevelt's request, the column appeared every other day until September 26, 1962 when she grew too ill to work. Nationally syndicated, at its height the column appeared in ninety papers in all parts of the nation, providing ER with a reading audience of 4,034,552, ranking her immediately below Dorothy Thompson, the leading female columnist of the era.
"My Day," while by no means a complete record of ER's daily activities, is the only account we have of her actions from 1936-1962. The columns reveal whom she met, where she traveled, what she thought, why she reached that opinion, and how she handled the pressures of public life.
"My Day" was indispensable not only to those interested in understanding Eleanor Roosevelt, but also to the understanding of the social and political history of the Great Depression, World War II, and the Cold War at home and abroad.
“Our Day” is the current publication issued by ERVK to report the ongoing activities, programs, and people who today, carry out the mission shared by Eleanor Roosevelt.
