My Day was a newspaper column that was written by First Lady of the United States Eleanor Roosevelt six days a week from 1935 to 1962. From 1961 until the final issue in 1962, issues were only published every other day because Roosevelt became too sick to write on her usual schedule[1]. In her column, she discussed issues such as race, women, and key events (Pearl Harbor, Prohibition, H Bomb, etc.). This column allowed Roosevelt to spread her ideas and thoughts to millions of Americans and give them a new view on the issues they faced every day. George T. Bye, Eleanor Roosevelt's literary agent, encouraged her to write the column.[2] With this column, Roosevelt became the first First Lady to write a daily newspaper column.[3] In addition to "My Day", Roosevelt also wrote for Ladies Home Journal and McCall's, as well as a number of other articles in Vogue and various women's magazines[4].
The White House Historical Association and the Eleanor Roosevelt Papers Project collaborated on an online representation on some of Roosevelt's best writings as well as extra insights from Allida M. Black, the director of the Eleanor Roosevelt Papers Project[5]. The Eleanor Roosevelt Papers Project at the Columbian College of Arts and Sciences[6] works to release digital and print versions of Roosevelt's political writings; it is currently working on transcribing her radio and television appearances.
