This 1975 Fleetwood First Day Cover features the 10¢ International Women's Year commemorative stamp postmarked on its official first day of issue, August 26, 1975, in Seneca Falls, New York. The cachet honors Anna Eleanor Roosevelt (1884-1962), the influential reformer, First Lady, and human-rights advocate.
Eleanor Roosevelt played a pivotal role in shaping 20th-century American social policy and international diplomacy. As First Lady she transformed the role into an active platform for civil rights and women's issues; after the White House she chaired the committee that drafted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights at the United Nations.
The colorful Fleetwood cachet depicts Roosevelt in an ornate red frame alongside the "Great American Women" seal and a soaring eagle, tying the cover to the 1975 International Women's Year observance whose stamp appears on the envelope.
A strong addition for collectors of women's history, Roosevelt topical, or Fleetwood cachets, this cover remains in fresh condition with a clear Seneca Falls postmark and vivid multicolor artwork.
