The correct answer is by becoming more active in addressing social issues than her predecessors

Eleanor married the rising politician, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, in 1905 and was completely involved in public service. When they arrived at the White House in 1933 as President and First Lady, she was already deeply involved in human rights and social justice issues. As he continued his work on behalf of all people, he defended equal rights for women, African Americans, workers in the era of depression, taking inspiration and attention to their causes. Courageously frank, she publicly supported Marian Anderson when in 1939 the black singer was denied use of the Washington Constitution Hall due to her race. Roosevelt ensured that Anderson would sing instead on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, creating a lasting and inspiring image of personal prowess and human rights.
