During her time abroad, Eleanor blossomed. When she returned to the United States, she was, like most affluent girls of her day, presented to society, but felt the life of a debutante to be too stifling. She involved herself in the Rivington Street Settlement, where she taught dancing, literature and calisthenics. She visited needy children in the slums and investigated working conditions in garment factories and department stores ❤❁❤❁❤
