This is a question that can be solved easily by discerning the correct subject after the modifier. The subject should be Eleanor Roosevelt since a "President" cannot be the "First Lady". So the subject after the phrase "In 1945, after a career as First Lady in which she shattered expectations...." should be Eleanor Roosevelt. This eliminates B and C.
In option A, "Abigail Adams or Dolly Madison ever had been" illogically suggests that Abigail Adams or Dolly Madison had been (shattered). Eliminate
In option E, the possessive in Dolly Madison's is incorrect; appointed to be a delegate is unnecessarily wordy - constructions with "to be" are usually considered wordy on the GMAT. Eliminate
