In addition, please consider the context of her speech. She made it in a time and in an era when millions in the United States - in the world, even - had lost all hope for a better future and saw only misery and poverty stretching on for years to come.

That was the Great Depression of the 1930s.

For her to have that sense of determined optimism about the ability of humanity to transcend itself in that era is pretty damned awesome, in my view.
