Their personalities often set the tone for Washington society, from
Julia Tyler's open hospitality to Sarah Polk's somber religious
devotion. Some, like Abigail Adams, had little formal schooling.
Others, such as Pat Nixon and Hillary Clinton, earned college
degrees. There were those who outlived their spouses as well as
women who died before seeing their husbands realize their
presidential dreams. In spite of differing circumstances, these
presidential wives influenced-sometimes overtly and often
inadvertently-everything from domestic political agendas to foreign
policy through their relationships with their husbands. From Martha
Washington to Laura Bush, this book discusses the lives and
circumstances of the 47 women who have been married to an American
president. It emphasizes the relationship each wife had with her
husband and the ways in which this contributed to the success or
failure of his presidency. Details include birthplace, upbringing,
political viewpoints and final resting place. Chapters are also
included on women such as Hannah Van Buren and Jane Wyman, who
although married to men who eventually became president, never
became first lady.
