Anna Lord Strauss
Anna Lord Strauss was an influential civic leader that was mainly a feminist/women's right activist, and perhaps one of her greatest accomplishments was her push for the creation of the United Nations. She was also recognized widely and appointed to certain positions for her ability to work effectively with women of many different cultures and backgrounds.〔
==Biography==
A part of the Famine Emergency Committee, the International Alliance for Women, and the League of Women Voters, Anna Lord Strauss made a significant impact on American history. She was born in New York City in 1899 and was brought up with two other siblings. After going to the New York School for Secretaries and getting a job alongside her father, she took a trip to France which ultimately made her contemplate what she really wanted to do with her life.〔Scott, A. F. Strauss, Anna Lord. September 20, 1899-February 23, 1979. In S. Ware & S. Braukman (Eds.), Notable American women: Completing the Twentieth century. Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press.〕 In 1923, she got a job with the ''Century Magazine'', but after six years left because she felt her promotion was taking a job away from someone more deserving. She took up volunteer work at Ellis Island, and eventually joined the New York City League of Women Voters in 1934.〔 Determined and hard-working, Strauss moved up in the organization to president. Her election, however, led to the resign of the senior board members and staff because the outgoing presidential candidate was apparently a big-shot and they did not want to give Strauss a chance. To combat the loss of members, she hired plenty of excited new people who shared similar stances.〔
