This quiz tests PRESIDENTIAL MISTRESSES Lucy Mercer and Franklin D. Roosevelt. Before Franklin D. Roosevelt became President, Lucy was Eleanor Roosevelt's Social Secretary. Mrs. Roosevelt found out about FDR's and Lucy's relationship when she came across a package of Lucy's letters in FDR's luggage. FDR promised to give it up rather than divorce. Their marriage became more of political partnership than a loving relationship. Although he had promised never to see Lucy again, FDR asked Lucy to attend his 1932 inauguration. The two began to see each other again after Lucy's husband died in 1944. Eleanor did not know of these meetings, many of which their daughter, Anna Roosevelt arranged.
