Anna Eleanor Roosevelt was wife of the 32nd president Franklin D. Roosevelt of the United States, and was the niece of the 26th president Theodore Roosevelt, and was the first lady who had accompanied for 12 years in the White House, which created an American history. As was known to all, she was an unusual first lady. She was glorious as a social activist, politician, unofficial diplomat and writer. However, she had done more as the partner and political adviser of the president, rather than the role of a loved wife. The value she and president Roosevelt had created was incomparable, and the couple's special relationship was also unique in the history of the first family of America. In short, with her own charm, independence, calmness, tolerance, and open-minded mentality, Eleanor helped the president gain notable achievements, and she also became an unprecedented "the first lady of the world". The achievements that the first lady made was remarkable in political and social activity, but her love was very controversial, and therefore, this paper will explore the perspective of her love, and interpret the feelings of her inward world clearly, and summarize the causes and effects of her perspective of love.The introduction presents Anna Eleanor Roosevelt and her social background briefly, and summarizes the relevant research home and abroad, and introduces the methodology and objectives of the study.The main body consists of three parts:Part one introduces complex emotional experience of Anna Eleanor Roosevelt in early stage.

She re-examined and judged the love, on the one hand, she gained achievements in her own political career, on the other hand, her need of own feelings was satisfied. However, there was much more bitterness. Her choice might be political motivation and emotional release for Franklin D. Roosevelt, and their pure political relationship brought certain influence to their children inevitably, and their children all married very young, but their marriage was always unstable. In short, her perspective of love had both advantages and disadvantages. The conclusion sums up the whole paper briefly. Anna Eleanor Roosevelt didn't choose to divorce from Franklin D. Roosevelt and she also didn't open the extramarital affair of her husband, which retained good reputation of her husband. In the era of inequality between men and women, she won extraordinary value through her own career as the first lady, and made up for the missing of love. She is worthy of our admiration and tribute.
