Eleanor Roosevelt provided women with unprecedented access to the President.

Explanation:

Though Eleanor Roosevelt did not have much constitutional authority as the First Lady, she still strived for women's rights and made sure the President notices and addresses the issues pertaining to women. She was the first First Lady who enabled all the female citizens of the United States to reach the President directly and easily in case of serious concerns that required the attention of the President.
