Famous today as a human rights giant, feminist pathfinder and role model, few have had to overcome the glaring life pauses that Eleanor Roosevelt experienced, to achieve so much.
Yet most of the active steps she took to "unpause", especially in the critical period after her child-bearing years had come to an end, and her marriage was imperilled, are there to see.
In this first of two bonus episodes of Unpaused, I chart the early life of Eleanor Roosevelt and her awakening as one of the most influential voices of the 20th century.
