By the time Franklin Roosevelt became president in 1932, his wife Eleanor had already put her disappointment in their marriage behind her and developed a life independent of her husband. She soon met a campaign reporter for the Associated Press, Lorena Hickok. Over the next thirty years the two women were, at different points, lovers, confidantes, professional advisors, and caring friends.
