- Eunice Kennedy Shriver may not be as well known as her brothers Jack, Bobby, and Ted, but during her lifetime, she worked tirelessly behind the scenes to influence public policy and serve the public good. In celebration of the centennial of her birth, we speak with biographer Eileen McNamara and her son Timothy Shriver, and hear from Eunice herself.
I know one who IS going to 🙏💙🇺🇲
Interesting. Curious why 35?
She wanted women to be good moms at home because she had seen the affects of neglect. Mothering is needed as much as feminism. Hoover said that he needed good women in the FBI. It would’ve solved a lot of PRS, no doubt. Detailed, and they don’t forget. Won’t let men forget either. Having to fight for our right to vote against the drunks of Prohibition. Good times.
Done with flank, we’re taking lead.
Happy birthday, Eunice! ❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️
This was a very interesting POV thanks for that tid bit!
Hoover didn't like women. He never got married. He fired all the female agents when he became director of the FBI in 1924. He also banned the future hiring of them. And he argued against women getting the right to vote. He saw 8 presidents come and go during his time as head of the FBI, respectively Calvin Coolidge, Herbert Hoover, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Harry S. Truman, Dwight D. Eisenhower, John F. Kennedy, Lyndon B. Johnson and Richard Nixon. He held secret files on political leaders, and was in a position where he could intimidate and threaten others, including sitting presidents of the United States.
The sources I’ve read said otherwise, but now I’ll look into him further. Thank you, Annie!
