\u0093Eleanor Roosevelt: No Ordinary Woman,\u0094 a presentation by Joan Wolfberg, will honor the late First Lady on March 18 at 7 p.m. on the main stage of the Columbia Basin College HUB. It will be hosted by the Franklin County Historical Society and Soroptomist International of Pasco- and Kennewick. Eleanor Roosevelt was the most powerful woman in America for more than 30 years, and Wolfberg takes you on an amazing journey from Eleanor\u0092s shy, awkward childhood, to life as the First Lady and later to the United Nations. She believed in the equality of women and the racial minorities before it was popular. Joan Wolfberg is a Chautauqua scholar and professional actress formerly with the New Mexico and Florida Humanities Councils and currently serving as a speaker for United Jewish Communities.<\/P>
