burrella · Answer

The Early Life of Eleanor Roosevelt is an appropriate research topic. It is not too broad, it is narrow because it focuses on a specific person and a specific time span. It is easily researchable-there will be lots of information on her.  Eleanor Roosevelt is a historic figure, so it would not be an opinion piece.
