Synopsis

Essential guide to First Ladies, whose life details and influences on U.S. history are often not covered when studying history in school. Who the First Lady was during a Presidency and whether they wanted the role and how much power they were able to ultimately wield over time as women's rights grew tells a fascinating story. Facts about each First Lady, their early life and key activities get more globally and politically active as women's rights evolve. Becoming their own force as partners of U.S. Presidents, many have had enormous influence on the United States and the world and should be celebrated in their own right. Expertly written by history author and professor David Head PhD, this 6 page, colorfully organized, durably laminated and inexpensive reference can open a door to American history often overlooked and also would be a great class set for the study of women in history and the U.S. Presidency.
