"The Legacies and Personalities that built the White House"
As a young nation grew into its own, it was not just the
presidents who led the way. The remarkable women of the White
House, often neglected by history, had a heavy hand in the shaping
of America. The earliest First Ladies of the United States left
countless untold legacies behind after their role at the White
House was over.
Decidedly different from their modern day counterparts, the
nation's first presidential wives made their impact not in terms of
political policy or broad social and civic service, but instead
with unique, personal, and often long-lasting accomplishments.
"Read the unforgettable stories of how: "
Martha Washington set the tone for First Ladies and walked the
fine line between royal pretention and republican
accessibility.
Sarah Polk worked diligently, constantly giving the high office
her utmost attention.
Julia Grant not only adapted to the ups and downs of her
husband's political career, but flourished wherever she landed.
And it was Nellie Taft's ambition that ultimately led her
husband to the presidency.
