Hillary Rodham Clinton follows in the tradition of Eleanor Roosevelt as a first lady who uses her position as a platform for social change. Clinton became the 42nd first lady of the United States on January 20, 1993, when her husband, Bill Clinton, a former governor of Arkansas, took the presidential inaugural oath. A nationally known activist on education and children's issues, a mother, and a trusted political adviser to her husband, Hillary Clinton has chaired an Arkansas state commission on education, served on dozens of corporate and civic boards, and made a career as one of America's leading attorneys.

    Extractions: (Anna) Eleanor Roosevelt was born on October 11, 1884 in New York. Her family called her Eleanor. She was the wife of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, but won fame in her own right for her humanitarian work, and as a role a model for women in public life. One of her most noted quotations, and an excellent reflection of her attitude about life is: "It's better to light a candle than to curse the darkness." Eleanor married a distant cousin, Franklin Roosevelt, in 1905. When her husband was stricken with polio in 1921 she began to work on his behalf, making frequent fact-finding trips during his terms as governor of New York, and later as President. While First Lady, she went on nationwide lecture tours, and held over 350 press conferences for woman reporters only. She wrote a daily newspaper column and articles for many magazines. Eleanor was also a civil rights activist during her husband's tenure as President. Roosevelt served as a United States delegate to the United Nations General Assembly from 1945 to 1951. In 1946 she was elected chairman of the UN's Human Rights Commission. She helped draft the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights. In 1961 she returned to the General Assembly. Later in 1961 President John F. Kennedy appointed her head of the Commission on the Status of Women.

    http://www.americanpresident.org/history/woodrowwilson/firstlady/
    
    Extractions: Edith Bolling Wilson, Woodrow Wilson's second wife, is sometimes described as America's first woman President because of the role she played after the President's massive stroke in October 1919. Choosing to admit or turn away visitors and deciding what papers Wilson did or did not see, she was a controversial figure at the time and has remained so ever since. For her part, Edith Wilson described her role as that of a steward. She wrote in her 1939 memoirs that as First Lady, she "never made a single decision regarding the disposition of public affairs." In fact, she claimed powers over only "what was important and what was not" and "when to present matters to my husband." Edith was introduced to the President in early 1915, about six months after the death of Ellen Axson Wilson, his first wife. Wilson liked her at once and began sharing state secrets with her in an effort to charm her. After a brief but passionate courtship, the two became secretly engaged. But Wilson's political advisers felt that his remarriage less than a year after the death of Ellen Wilson would offend the American public and damage his reelection prospects; they even concocted a scheme to prevent him from marrying Edith. Despite their machinations, the couple was married in December 1915.

    Presidency in History, , John Adams, , first Lady, , Biography 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 her 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 confidante. 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."

Abigail was descended on her mother's side from the Quincys, a prominent New England family. She married John Adams, then a lawyer, in 1764, and they spent much of their early life apart as John Adams travelled as a circuit judge and then became a key player in the American Revolution. Their fond, newsy and philosophical letters to one another during these absences have become famous both as evidence of a deep love affair and as a source of information about the Revolutionary era. Abigail lived briefly in Paris and London as John Adams served as U.S. ambassador to France and England, and she became a friend to First Lady Martha Washington when John Adams became the country's first vice-president under George Washington . John Adams became president in 1797, and after his single term ended in 1801 he and Abigail retired to their home in Quincy, Massachusetts. Abigail Adams died of typhoid fever in 1818; seven years later, in 1825, her son John Quincy became president.

    Extractions: "Any man who voted against 'female suffrage' was a blockhead," Susan B. Anthony declared in 1867. A nationally known supporter of women's rights, Anthony spent time in Kansas campaigning for women to secure the right to vote. She is featured in a short biography Nancy Landon Kassebaum Baker was the first Kansas woman to serve in the U.S. Senate and the first woman to be elected to a full term in the Senate in her own right. Born in Topeka, she received degrees from the University of Kansas and the University of Michigan. She was elected as a Republican to the United States Senate in 1978 where she served until 1997, when she retired from political office. Olive Ann Beech is universally recognized as the "First Lady of Aviation." Introduced to aviation in 1924, she devoted her career to Beech Aircraft, the company she co-founded in Wichita in 1932 with her husband, Walter.

    Extractions: Send 'Em South is an adventure story that brings the two conflicting worlds of North and South together. In the years just prior to the Civil War, David Adams grows up in the middle of two worlds. His father is an Irish immigrant who is ridiculed and ignored by the people of Boston. His mother is an abolitionist who has dedicated her life to ending slavery. David, as the son of these two, finds himself an outcast amongst his friends and even his family. The second in Alan N. Kay's Young Heroes of History series, On the Trail of John Brown's Body, is every bit as good as the first. Whereas that book juxtaposed the plight of a slave family and a northern family filled with abolitionists and sympathetics, this book follows the adventures of two boys and their fathers as they journey to the Kansas Territory in the days when John Brown cast the longest shadow in the land. Disgusted by the violence of the John Brown raid, George Adams adopts the state of Virginia and its cause as his own. The war does not go well for the South, and when the North's cannons destroy the city, George is horrified. Then, when he finds a poor starving girl, George realizes that he is the only one that can save her. Off to Fight is a story of growing up. It is a story of the brutality of war and the kindness that takes place in the middle of such horrors.

79. Laura Bush - First Lady Biography & Information - WHITEHOUSE.ORG
    Officious Biography of the first Lady of the United States of America. Mrs. George W. Bush ( Laura ) makes voters proud to be an american once again.  
    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.

    http://www.fdrlibrary.marist.edu/erbio.html
    
    Extractions: Anna Eleanor Roosevelt was born in New York City on October 11, 1884. Her father was Elliott Roosevelt, President Theodore Roosevelt's younger brother and her mother was Anna Hall, a descendent of the Livingstons, a distinguished New York family. Both her parents died when she was a child, her mother in 1892, and her father in 1894. After her mother's death, Eleanor lived with her grandmother, Mrs. Valentine G. Hall, in Tivoli, New York. She was educated by private tutors until age 15, when she was sent to Allenswood, a school for girls in England, whose headmistress, Mademoiselle Marie Souvestre, had a great influence on her education and thinking. At age 18, Eleanor Roosevelt returned to New York where she resided with cousins. During that time she became involved in social service work, joined the Junior League and taught at the Rivington street Settlement House. During Franklin D. Roosevelt's presidency, Eleanor Roosevelt was an active First Lady who traveled extensively around the nation, visiting relief projects, surveying working and living conditions, and then reporting her observations to the President. She also exercised her own political and social influence; she became an advocate of the rights and needs of the poor, of minorities, and of the disadvantaged. In World War II, she visited England and the South Pacific to foster good will among the Allies and boost the morale of US servicemen overseas. After President Roosevelt's death on April 12, 1945, Mrs. Roosevelt continued public life. She was appointed by President Truman to the United States Delegation to the United Nations General Assembly, a position she held until 1953. She was chairman of the Human Rights Commission during the drafting of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights which was adopted by the General Assembly on December 10, 1948.
