Here are the personal philosophies, opinions, thoughts, witticisms,
and feelings of such upstanding and quintessential Americans as
Abigail Adams, Dolly Madison, Eleanor Roosevelt, Jacqueline
Kennedy, Nancy Reagan, Barbara Bush, and Hillary Clinton. These
women have been more than just wives of American Presidents. Their
roles have included everything from negotiating with heads of state
to redecorating the White House, from debating political issues to
acting as advisors, confidantes, and diplomats. Through statements
made during press interviews and in speeches and in writing, these
women put into words what might otherwise have remained private:
Abigail Adams proves herself to be a pioneer feminist; Eleanor
Roosevelt defines life's ultimate success; Lady Bird Johnson
recounts a soul-enriching boat ride; and much more. What they have
to say about marriage, child-rearing, success, happiness, beauty in
the world, education, careers for women, women in politics,
relationships, growing old, love, and living life to the fullest is
powerful and profound. The pronouncements, pet peeves, gibes, and
joys revealed in America's First Ladies add texture to the more
secretive administrations, and color to the sterner and more stoic
ones.
