About Eleanor Roosevelt

Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962) holds significant historical weight, ranked #321 in global influence by MIT's Pantheon project. As a social activist and the longest-serving First Lady of the United States, her primary impact stemmed from her vigorous advocacy for human rights, civil rights, and women's rights, which continued after her husband's death through her role as a US delegate to the United Nations, where she chaired the committee that drafted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

Despite this high historical importance, her modern internet attention shows a clear overemphasis. With 1.4 million Wikipedia views in 2025, Eleanor Roosevelt receives roughly 3x the attention predicted by her historical ranking, placing her in the category of "overattention" relative to her HPI score. This level of modern web traffic is notably higher than that for figures with demonstrably greater historical importance, such as Louis XIV of France (#42 HPI, 213K views).

Her 2025 viewing trend shows a slight positive growth year-over-year (+2.7%), suggesting steady engagement, though quarterly momentum suggests a recent dip of -37% between Q1 and Q3, indicating that current events or media coverage are not currently driving a surge in interest.
