Reseña del editor:

Since the time of Martha Washington, America's first ladies have fascinated the nation. Unelected and unpaid, they occupy a position of power defined as much by their own personalities and interests as by public perceptions and social expectations. Americans expect the first lady to be a symbol of home, family and womanhood. She is also a political partner, from the campaign trail to White House receptions. Some support the presidency behind the scenes, others use their title to affect change in their own right. This new title in the 4 fold series examines this uniquely American role and celebrates the remarkable individuals who have occupied this demanding post, from the exuberant Dolley Madison and tragic Mary Todd, to the humanitarian Eleanor Roosevelt and the politically ambitious Hilary Clinton.
