Standing outside an Atlanta cotton mill campaigning for her husband's bid to become governor of Georgia, Rosalynn Carter came upon a stooped and weary woman heading home to care for a mentally ill daughter.

Her advocacy has continued long after the couple left the nation's capital and established the Carter Center in Atlanta.
