61. Laura Bush - First Lady Biography & Information - WHITEHOUSE.ORG
    Mrs. George W. Bush ( Laura ) makes voters proud to be an american once again. Gone are the days of pushy first ladies, who speak when not spoken to and  
    http://www.whitehouse.org/administration/laura.asp
    
    Extractions: When describing First Lady Mrs. George W. Bush ("Laura"), it is appropriate on countless levels to defer to the superior psychophysical summary offered by her husband, President George W. Bush: "She doesn't try to steal the limelight." Indeed, Mrs. Bush is in many ways most noteworthy for her intensely admirable inclination to allow her husband to methodically overshadow each and every element of her unfortunately female being. Such is the way and the path of a goodly Republican first lady. As Peggy Noonan, the wordsmith for Ronald Reagan, the greatest man who ever lived (that didn't wind up on a cross), once said, a First Lady should strive to be like the glistening, waxing moon. She neither seeks nor has a light of her own. Instead, she is made happy by simply reflecting the shining example of her Christian husband. She makes his luminance, no matter how seemingly faint, more visible to those who walk along the path of life so often darkened by failed liberal social programs and uninsured children who get sick too often. With a plaintive face that seemed inspired by the dusty prairies of bucolic Texas, Laura Welch was born in Midland, Texas on November 4, 1946. The daughter of a carpenter father and a housewife mother not unlike Joseph and Mary themselves, Laura learned early to happily adhere to the traditional gender roles that would one day make her an object of feverish desire for Stetson-wearing alpha males. A popular girl, high school saw Laura blossom into an accomplished dancer and enthusiastic consumer of the fine, life-affirming tobacco products of the RJ Reynolds Corporation. In the fall of 1963, Laura narrowly averted a life of pointless obscurity, when she ran a stop sign and collided with another vehicle, inflicting a fatal neck fracture on Mike Douglas, a then-serious boyfriend not genetically affiliated with a burgeoning political dynasty.

    Extractions: Rosalynn Smith Carter was born August 18, 1927, in Plains, Georgia, the daughter of Allie Murray and Edgar Smith. Since 1962, the year Mr. Carter was elected state senator of Georgia, Rosalynn has been active in political life. As first lady of Georgia, Rosalynn was appointed to the Governor's Commission to Improve Services for the Mentally and Emotionally Handicapped. The Commission presented recommendations to Governor Carter, many of which were ultimately passed into law. She also served as a volunteer at the Georgia Regional Hospital in Atlanta and for five years was honorary chairperson for the Georgia Special Olympics for Retarded Children. In January 1975, when his gubernatorial term was over, Mr. Carter, along with Rosalynn and Amy, went back to Plains. He had already announced his plans to run for President of the United States. Rosalynn returned to the campaign trail, this time in a national quest for support for her husband. She campaigned alone on his behalf in 41 states. During the months she was campaigning across the country, Rosalynn was elected to the board of directors of the National Association of Mental Health; she was honored by the National Organization for Women with an Award of Merit for her vigorous support for the Equal Rights Amendment; and she received the Volunteer of the Year Award from the Southwestern Association of Volunteer Services.

Often I have found the need to read several biographies by various authors to get a clear picture and understanding of the subject's life and character. Not this time - Evita First Lady is an exquisitely written biography. It is not a bit of fluff but a riviting account of the life and times of one of history's most notorious first ladies. I highly recommend John Barnes' book.

    Extractions: Eleanor Roosevelt American First Lady, humanitarian, and diplomat Through her humanitarian efforts in America and abroad, Roosevelt became one of the best-known and most admired women in the world. Introduction Anna Eleanor Roosevelt was born in New York City in 1884. She was the daughter of Elliot Roosevelt, brother of future president Theodore Roosevelt, and Anna Ludlow Hall. Her father, although loving, was an alcoholic; her mother was cold and disapproving. By the time she was eight, both of her parents had died, so she went to live with her grandmother. Awkward and shy, she was sent to finishing school in England when she was 15. Here the withdrawn Roosevelt blossomed, excelling in languages and literature and becoming popular for the first time in her life. More interested in social work When she returned to New York City at age 17, Roosevelt refused to take part in the activities of high society. Instead, she chose to work toward social reforms. She taught dancing and literature at community centers and visited needy children in the slums. Through her work, she gained an intimate knowledge of how the poor actually lived. During this time, she met her fifth cousin Franklin D. Roosevelt. Against his mother's wishes, they were married on March 17, 1905. Her uncle, President Theodore Roosevelt, gave her away at the wedding. Over the next ten years, she gave birth to six children (one died in infancy).

79. American President
    first Lady Abigail Smith Adams President John Adams. first Lady Biography.  
    http://www.americanpresident.org/history/johnadams/firstlady/
    
    Extractions: Abigail Adams is probably best remembered for urging husband John Adams to "Remember the Ladies." At a time when John was working on the Declaration of Independence, Abigail specifically lobbied her husband to, "be more generous and favorable to [the Ladies] than your ancestors. Do not put such unlimited power into the hands of the Husbands. Remember all Men would be tyrants if they could. If particular care and attention is not paid to the Ladies we are determined to foment a Rebellion, and will not hold ourselves bound by any Laws in which we have no voice, or Representation . . ." Although John disagreed with Abigail on such matters, he nevertheless saw her as a lifetime partner and confidant. Abigail's enduring support, advice, and insightful political observations prompted John to call her his "dearest Partner" and "best, dearest, worthiest, wisest friend in this World." On top of that, he noted, Abigail shone "as a Stateswoman." These self-imposed limits notwithstanding, Abigail continued to lobby for improvements in female education and battled the assumed inferiority of women. Writing that she would never consent to having those of "her sex" considered inferior, she advocated letting "each planet shine in their own orbit." But her earlier strident calls for husband John to "Remember the Ladies" abated somewhat over time. Abigail noted that the "Government of States and Kingdoms, tho God knows badly enough managed...should be solely administered by the Lords."

80. American President
    first Lady Biography. portrait, even as British troops bore down upon Washington, DC, during the War of 1812, remains a staple of american mythology.  
    http://www.americanpresident.org/history/jamesmadison/firstlady/
    
    Extractions: Legend has a tendency to eclipse reality when it comes to Dolley Madison. Her decision to remain in the White House until she had secured the safety of George Washington's portrait, even as British troops bore down upon Washington, D.C., during the War of 1812, remains a staple of American mythology. Yet reality rivals legend when one considers the tenure of the "Lady Presidentress." By the time Dolley Payne Todd Madison had attended her husband's inaugural in 1809, she had already served intermittently as presidential hostess during the Jefferson administration. Dolley Madison was thus aware of the perks, responsibilities, and the criticism inherent in the job and was the first presidential spouse to fully embrace the role. She enjoyed the first inaugural ball and appeared at numerous events both with and without her husband. She paid and received calls, held "dove parties" where congressional wives discussed current events, hosted political dinners, and gave wildly popular public receptions. While Dolley Madison had accommodated herself to the informal style of entertaining required in the Jefferson White House, she reinstated some of the formality of earlier administrations when she became hostess in her own right. She replaced the smaller dinners preferred by Jefferson with larger events, holding "drawing rooms," a less formal version of the levees hosted by Martha Washington and Abigail Adams.
