Presidency in Action search: First Lady: Edith Bolling Galt Wilson President: Woodrow Wilson First Lady: Biography 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 Action search: First Lady: Lou Henry Hoover President: Herbert Hoover First Lady: Biography Lou Henry Hoover's life was marked by her devotion to her husband and family, a deeply felt commitment to civic activism, and a love of the outdoors. She was a quiet, well-educated woman who had little taste for publicity or national attention. Nevertheless, in modest ways, she did expand the role of the First Lady. Lou and Herbert kept up their courtship while Hoover began a career as a mining engineer. After he received an assignment in China overseeing the mining operations of a large firm, Hoover proposed to Lou, who happily accepted. They married in 1899 and immediately set sail for China. One year after their arrival, they found themselves in the midst of the Boxer Rebellion, an anti-Western uprising that was eventually suppressed through foreign military intervention. Lou helped care for the wounded and injured as she and Herbert were barricaded in a western settlement in the city of Tientstin. For the next several years, Lou traveled the world with Hoover as he rose to the top of his profession. Intelligent, adventurous, and easily able to learn new languages, she was an ideal partner for her husband. Herbert and Lou Hoover were living in London when World War I began in 1914. Lou joined her husband in organizing war relief efforts, establishing both the American Women's War Relief Fund and the American Women's Hospital. When the United States became a belligerent in 1917, Herbert Hoover took charge of the U.S. Food Administration in Washington, D.C., while Lou pursued new forms of civic activism. She appealed to the American public to ration and conserve food in support of the war effort. She also helped found the Food Administration Women's Club, which aided young, single women who had moved to the capital hoping to find work in the new war agencies. When the war ended, Lou Hoover began a program to assist veterans, especially wounded veterans, as they returned home.

70. The First Ladies The american people have made the role of the first Lady one of the most important It happened because each first Lady from Martha Washington onward http://clinton4.nara.gov/textonly/WH/glimpse/firstladies/html/firstladies.html

The First Ladies Picture of Hillary Rodham Clinton The American people have made the role of the First Lady one of the most important jobs in the country. It happened because each First Lady from Martha Washington onward contributed to her husband's historical reputation. It is a tribute to American women that, coming from different social and economic backgrounds, from many different geographical regions, and with diverse education preparation, each First Lady served our country so well. Each left her own mark, and each tells us something special about our history. The White House Historical Association has published The First Ladies to give us an opportunity to know these fascinating women better. The biographies were written by Margaret B. Klaphthor, Curator Emeritus of the Smithsonian Institution. Mrs. Klapthor has spent 50 years studying our First Ladies, and her findings put each woman into perspective. She highlights their individual achievements as well as their qualities that make them similar. As we learn about them, we begin to see that these women usually reflect the time in which they lived, so much so that a look at their lives becomes a panorama of women's history in America. Managing the social life at the White House and the personal welfare of the President and their families, the First Ladies set a standard for the women of their day. In addition, they brought their own interests to the same wide audience. From the relative obscurity of the earliest First Ladies, a few shine like stars. We see Abigail Adams passionate love for John Adams, in her patriotism, and in her political and social beliefs. Dolley Madison dazzles Washington with her social skills and also proves to be an especially astute politician who aids her husband's presidential activities. Sarah Polk also assists her husband's political career. Acting as the President's private secretary, she enjoys more politics than entertaining.

T H E W H I T E H O U S E The First Lady's Treasures Tour - National Museum of American History Help Site Map Text Only The First Lady begins her four day Save Our Treasures Tour in Washington, D.C. at the National Museum of American History. At this event, the First Lady will be joined by the President in announcing the start of a restoration project for the American flag displayed at the museum. This flag was made by Mrs. Mary Pickersgill of Baltimore, Maryland in 1813 and was flying over Ft. McHenry at dawn of September 14, 1814, when Francis Scott Key saw it, signifying that the forts commander, Major George Armistead, and his troops had withstood a British attack. Inspired, Key began writing about the sight and the siege of Ft. McHenry. This poem became a popular patriotic song, and in 1931, an Act of Congress declared The Star Spangled Banner our national anthem. Description: The flag measures 30' x 34' and weighs approximately 300 lbs. There are 15 white cotton 5-pointed stars, approximately 24" wide, on blue field of English wool bunting and 15 stripes 8 red and 7 white. Preservation Needs: The conservation effort includes a variety of elements, including the construction of barriers around Flag Hall prior to deinstallation of the flag; The deinstallation of the flag and its removal to the laboratory; Construction of a state-of-the-art conservation laboratory on the Museum premises (with windows so that visitors might view the work in progress); Non-federal employment of a team of conservators and conservation technicians; Equipment and supplies; and research to determine the optimum specifications of the showcase to prolong the life of the flag.

Susan Barber Abigail Adams writes to her husband, John, who is attending the Continental Congress in Philadelphia, asking that he and the other menwho were at work on the Declaration of Independence"Remember the Ladies." John responds with humor. The Declaration's wording specifies that "all men are created equal." 1820 to 1880 Evidence from a variety of printed sources published during this periodadvice manuals, poetry and literature, sermons, medical textsreveals that Americans, in general, held highly stereotypical notions about women's and men's roles in society. Historians would later term this phenomenon "The Cult of Domesticity." Emma Hart Willard founds the Troy Female Seminary in New Yorkthe first endowed school for girls.
