My Day 2026: Eleanor Roosevelt and Social Justice
“It takes as much energy to wish as it does to plan.”
The National Women’s Foundation and the Eleanor Roosevelt Center at Val-Kill are proud to announce the release of My Day 2026: Eleanor Roosevelt and Social Justice, a beautifully illustrated weekly planner celebrating one of America’s most visionary and inspiring leaders and the women who worked alongside her such as Frances Perkins, Mary McLeod Bethune, and Esther Peterson.
Inspired by First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt’s syndicated newspaper column “My Day,” which reached millions from 1935 to 1962, the planner invites readers to reflect on the themes that defined her life. Each month focuses on a major theme, from Civil Rights and the New Deal to Youth & Education and The United Nations and Human Rights.
The planner features inspiring quotes, more than 100 historic photographs, 12 original essays, and 52 weekly profiles highlighting Roosevelt’s activism and many of the women who worked alongside her, including Frances Perkins, Mary McLeod Bethune, and Esther Peterson.
Retailing for $20, My Day 2026 is available at The Whittemore House (1526 New Hampshire Ave, NW, Washington, D.C.) or click here to order from ETSY. Proceeds support educational initiatives – including planners for high school students and teachers.
