Publisher's Synopsis
Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Reigning hostess of the grand White House, the first lady of the United States is the consort to the President, giving advice, taking on social projects, and often giving the country a strong female role model. This book explores the role of the first lady worldwide, with particular interest in that of the United States, taking us through profiles from Martha Washington to Michelle Obama. Also included are the roles of first ladies around the world.
