Putting aside for the moment that Eleanor Roosevelt was never the head of a government, I would say that they "stacked up" against each other as two important women of the 20th century. Other than that, I see no similarities between the two. In fact, their differences are rather striking, ideologically speaking. And please don't make me go into more detail!

I'd say Hillary Clinton, for Mary liked to be in the political game alongside her husband. She influenced nominations. She kind of dreamed to be a political woman too.
