News about Eleanor Roosevelt

Jessica Alba announced she is stepping down from her position as Chief Creative Officer of The Honest Company. After being in the leadership role and founding the company 12 years ago, the actress shared that she will be stepping down but will 'continue to provide strategic advice through my role on the board.' In a statement via an Instagram post on Tuesday, Alba, 42, shared throwback photos over the years alongside inspiring quotes from Eleanor Roosevelt.

Wealth doesn't have to imply extravagance, as shown by the British Royal Family, who, despite their numerous palaces and burgeoning bank accounts, is surprisingly conservative with the money. Tales of the late Queen Elizabeth's thriftiness abound, from turning off the lights in empty rooms to sending half a lemon (squeezed over her salmon only once!) For re-use, it's returned to the kitchen. And if few have gone to the lengths of Queen Mary, the King's great grandmother, who used to display 'used' flowers from her own vases at home, she was by no means alone. The food habits seem to have been passed down through the generations, with William and Kate even seen on budget flights. So as the nights draw in, why not save some pennies with these helpful royal hacks?

During an editorial on Sky News on Friday, Sky News host Amanda Stoker, a Queensland Liberal National senator from 2018 to 2022, pleaded for women not to 'take any s***.' Ms Stoker pleaded guilty twice at a casual gathering in a parliamentary office on Thursday evening. She said the senator's public denial of her groping allegations had backed up her decision to come forward after Lidia Thorpe told the Senate that Mr Van had sexually assaulted and assaulted her on Wednesday. 'Ladies, don't put up with behaviour that you don't like.' Ms Stoker told viewers on Friday evening, 'Don't take s***t.'

Marilyn Stafford spent her life in Paris photographing the world - everything from portraits in London homes to fruit vendors in Lebanon, and the high fashion scene in Paris. She died on January 2 at the age of 97. MailOnline is chronicling her life as she did, through the lens of her camera.

On Wednesday, Barack and Michelle Obama returned to the White House and unveiled their formal portraits, which would adorn the executive mansion's walls. 'Barack and Michelle, welcome home!' At the dinner in the East Room, President Joe Biden spoke. 'It's nice to see you again, mother,' Biden said, speaking with Michelle Obama's Marian Robinson, who was seated in the front row.

Several large, formal portraits of presidents and first ladies adorn walls, hallways, and rooms in the White House, and, more traditionally, a former president returns for the unveiling during his successor's tenure. The Obamas (pictured top-right hosting George W. Bush and his wife, Laura), who have been popular since being out of the political spotlight, did not have their wedding reception when Republican President Donald Trump was in office. That means it's been more than a decade since a first-term president has invited his predecessor to attend the occasion. Before winning the election in 2016 and replacing Obama in 2017, Trump (pictured bottom-right at his inauguration in 2017) was a long-serving proponent of the 'birther' campaign, who incorrectly said Obama was not born in the United States.

Former President Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama will attend Jill Biden and former First Lady Michelle Obama in the White House next week for the long-awaited unveiling of their official portraits. Former President Donald Trump may have welcomed the Obamas to the White House for the formal event in the spring of 2020 if he had followed tradition. Trump did not do such things.

Mattel has paid tribute to Walker by including her as the newest doll in Barbie's Inspiring Women Series. In the 19th century, the African American entrepreneur, philanthropist, and social activist made her fortune by launching a line of haircare products for black women. The unveiling of the historic doll coincides with the Black Business Month in August. Walker was born Sarah Breedlove in Delta, Louisiana, in 1867. In 1906, she took the name of her third husband, Charles Joseph Walker, and launched Madam C.J. Walker, one of the first black haircare products. She was a key figure in the Harlem Renaissance and a founding member of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). In 1919, Walker died of kidney disease at the age of 51.

Barbie, a traditionally white, blonde doll with deceptively low body figures, has been trying to make its line more inclusive in recent years. And now a hearing impaired Barbie (left) is the latest to join the ever-growing list of diverse Barbies, which also includes a transgender toy (right) and one in a wheelchair. Barbie has also pursued a variety of careers in recent years, from vaccinologist (second from left) to conservationist (centre), transforming from the stereotypically feminine careers of fashion designer and nurse in the early 1960s. When a doll was released to commemorate Hunky Dory's 50th birthday, she even used the guise of David Bowie last month (second from right).

Lindsay Nicholson's hen do resembles a "willing prisoner" in her daughter's hen do, focusing on the 'fear of being too involved' and fading away after a 'jeroboam of prosecco' was brought out. 'Even though it's a new tradition, I'm hoping that my nieces would invite not only their same-age relatives but also mothers and aunts if they had a hen party.'
