. >> why didn't the eleanor-sara relationship work? >> sara could not give up her dominance, and eleanor came into the relationship feeling quite inferior. she had a terrible childhood, terrible. and she was glad enough at the beginning to let this mother-in-law do all sorts of things for her. but then as time went on, she never began to take over her own life. they lived their entire life in sara delano roosevelt's house at hyden park, or the house of the city that the mother-in-law built for them. but she built an adjacent house for herself with connecting doors. so it was an absolutely dominant kind of relationship. and i would say i fought franklin roosevelt for turning a blind eye to this very uncomfortable situation for his wife and not insisting on having a house of their own where she could have their children and be a family. the children really were closer to their grandmother than the mother. >> we heard for years the story about mrs. roosevelt moving to harvard to live near her son. >> yes. >> what did you find out about th

eleanor? >> he hasn't gone as far as you all want. he put something out there and he is getting back basically a slap from the face. because the republicans don't want to own these cuts either. >> the republicans gave him credit. they credited him for putting it on the table jute chairman of the republican campaign committee said if they were going to run after democrats for trying to balance the budget on the backs of seniors, which is so blatantly hypocritical even speaker boehner called him out. >> under the u.s. constitution the president proposes, the congress disposes. meaning congress alone holds the power of the purse. not the president. what should congress do with the obama budget? use it as a starting point or shelf it and start all over again from scratch. >> if i were the republicans in the house i would accept this initial offer on social security and see if we couldn't go further and work to get a deal. i would not slap him in the face the way craig sheldon did i guess. >> you would go along with the social security? >>

strategically the right kind of attention you want to get or are you doing this maybe because you scream, as eleanor said, about the problem then the one who comes in behind you or the ones who come in mind you then sit down and try to change the culture. >> that's absolutely right. when you're trying having to a social change movement, it's like biodiversity, all of the above. different roles they can play but the bottom lin you shouldn't closeown any oft, lett a move on forward and the people behind can do the ground work, the tactical work to make things move forward. but the folks in the front doing the screaming are helping the movement. >> i agree that people's minds may be changed differently but i think you're much more likely to change my mind by sitting down, having a reasonable conversation instead of what could be offensive, in-your-face tactics. changing the hearts and minds of the people will happen by showing up at their place of worship, burning your flag or baring your breast. >> notice what we're talking about, ukrainian women. they come from different cultures the way who are amer

unlike hillary clinton or eleanor roosevelt, it wasn't a husband who promoted her. she was working class. lived above a grocery store. really made her own way into things. and even the iron lady, i mean, originally the task network and the soviet union used it as a criticism of her and mocked her. she embraced that iron lady motif. yet she always had the learned manners of the british aristocracy. reagan would always let her walk in front as a proper lady. and that word, lady, she took very seriously, yet she was a hawk on the cold war and was suspicious of the european integration movement, particularly the euro, was more about the special alliance. i think -- with the u.s. i think there is, like you said, chris, churchill and fdr, and then there's thatcher and reagan. she embodies what the special relationship's all about. >> the great thing about churchill, and i'm a churchill buff, or nut even, was he knew he had to fight the nazis. there was no talking to these guys. they had to be beaten. i watched "winds of war" the other night again. the guy says the only th

and those 46 women hired the future congressional delegate eleanor holmes norton as their attorney. and they became the first women in the media to sue for employment discrimination under title 7 of the civil rights act. they sued and they won. but their story, like so many others, quickly faded away into the history books. that was until 2010 when three young women also working at newsweek rediscovered it while they were writing a piece on fairness in the workplace, rediscovered it. and as they read the account of the women who came before them who worked so hard for so little credit, they saw how much had changed since the days when women in the newsroom were actually called news dollies. but they also saw how much hadn't changed. they talked to their colleagues and they heard similar frustrations echoing decades later. men had written all but six of the previous year cover stories. and more women had joined the ranks of the magazines mast head but only 39% of the leadership positions. and here's the thing, because we are supposed to be living in a society where these battles have
