On May 8, 2025, at 4:00 p.m., we kindly invite you to the lecture at The Valdas Adamkus Presidential Library-Museum (S. Daukantas St. 25, Kaunas), dedicated to the public and political work of U.S. First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt.

Eleanor Roosevelt was one of the most extraordinary women in American history. Fearless in her activism, passionate in her views and supporting rights for all Americans. Her role as First Lady puts her in a league of her own. Through her promotion of women’s rights and women’s activism and her tireless work on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights she also fully deserves the title of First Lady of the world.

The speaker will give the new approach of E. Roosevelt to the role of First Lady and her “women’s rights are human rights” approach when drafting the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. PhD. Magdalena Paluszkiewicz-Misiaczek is a historian and political scientist, research from the Institute of American Studies and Polish Diaspora at the Jagiellonian University, Cracow.
