Inauguration Day Speech History Quiz ... Home Amidst the pomp and circumstance surrounding the inaugural ceremony, many Americans eagerly await a glimpse of their first lady's ball gown. It is a tradition that goes back to the earliest celebrations of the new republic. Martha Washington used social celebrations to further her husband's career throughout their marriage. Mary Todd Lincoln lamented that she had to wear the most expensive clothes because she was scrutinized everywhere she went. In 1889, First Lady Caroline Harrison took advantage of her high profile moment to reinforce her husband's campaign theme. Benjamin Harrison had campaigned on the protection of home industries. According to Edith Mayo, curator emeritus of the First Ladies exhibit at the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History, the gowns "caused a great deal of comment because they were the first all American-made gowns to be worn to an inauguration." Laura Bush's wardrobe This year, Laura Bush chose a Texas favorite to design her inaugural ball gown. Dallas designer Michael Faircloth has designed Mrs. Bush's clothes during her time as first lady of Texas.

But her sentimental attachment to the blue chiffon dress didn't carry much weight in the fashion world. "The fashion industry was just merciless to her because she wasn't buying a new, up-to-date gown," said Edith Mayo, curator emeritus of women's history at the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History.

Presidency in Action search: First Lady: Elizabeth "Bess" Wallace Truman President: Harry Truman First Lady: Biography It is probably not surprising that the First Lady with whom Bess Truman most identified was Elizabeth Monroe. Like her nineteenth-century predecessor, Bess followed a very visible, ebullient, and beloved figure, had a reserved and detached nature, and was committed to pursuing her own course as presidential spouse. Unlike Elizabeth Monroe, however, Elizabeth Wallace Truman came to earn the American public's acceptance and respect, reluctantly steering her own course as the nation's First Lady. Though Bess loathed her new role and the "awful public life" it demanded, her husband recognized its significance to a presidential administration. Indeed, President Harry Truman insisted that a "President is in a bad way if he doesn't have a First Lady that knows her job and is a full support to him. She's the greatest help a President can have." He also recognized the significance of the First Lady to presidential history, revealing his wish that "someday someone will take time to evaluate the true role of the wife of the President, and to assess the many burdens she has to bear and the contributions she makes." But even as Harry recognized the many important duties and obligations incumbent on a First Lady, Bess was working to reduce her "burdens" and to limit her "contributions."

Presidency in Action search: First Lady: Emily Donelson (1829-1834); Sarah Yorke Jackson (1834-1837) President: Andrew Jackson First Lady: Biography Rachel Donelson Jackson was no stranger to the barbs of a hostile press. She had endured attacks upon her character during husband Andrew's presidential campaigns of 1824 and 1828 and anticipated even greater tortures upon his inauguration as President in 1829. More interested in religion than in public affairs, Rachel had begged her husband to withdraw from politics lest a family scandal be revealed. When Andrew Jackson persisted and won the presidency in 1828, Rachel planned to remain in Tennessee during her husband's term, choosing to "be a doorkeeper in the house of God than live in that palace in Washington." Despite this declaration and her fears of further verbal abuse, she eventually decided to join her husband in Washington and even bought a dress for his inauguration. It would become her funeral shroud. She died of a heart attack only weeks before her husband assumed his duties as President of the United States. Like Thomas Jefferson before him, Andrew Jackson was faced with the prospect of finding a substitute to assume the hostessing duties that were now expected of the President's wife. The grieving widower asked his twenty-one-year-old niece, Emily Donelson, to assume the role his dead wife had so feared. Managing a growing family of four children, three of whom were born at the presidential mansion, Emily Donelson handled receptions, welcomed official guests, and arranged dinners. But when Emily was swept up in the Peggy Eaton affair
