Earning 35 honorary degrees, what former first lady organized press conferences exclusively for female reporters?

Eleanor Roosevelt can toss her graduation cap a few dozen times in the air. Earning even more honorary degrees than her own husband, FDR, Eleanor was also the first First Lady to invite female journalists into the press room in 1933. Not only did the act promote inclusion of female reporters, putting the heat on newspapers to hire them in the first place, but it won over female voters.
