Women Who Dared: Amelia Earhart, Eleanor Roosevelt, Barbara Walters, Rosa Parks and More (Photos)

Eleanor Roosevelt revolutionized the post of First Lady during the 1930s: Instead of running the domestic operations of the White House, she traveled the world, acting as a diplomat and speaking in favor of marginalized populations. She served on the United Nations, promoted the New Deal and set off second-wave feminism with her insistence that she — and all other women — be treated as equal to men.
