Eleanor Roosevelt 

1884-1962

First Lady of the United States

Rumors of her bisexuality stem from a long, passionate friendship with the young reporter Lorena Hickok.

The longest-serving First Lady of the United States has fondly nick-named her ‘Hick’.

The most compelling evidence that her relationship with Hick, was indeed a sexual one, comes from the letters between the two, which were discovered after Eleanor’s death.

The Roosevelt family tried to suppress the letters, and indeed, they unfortunately destroyed some of them.
