Program Description
Event Details
This program will touch on all the First Ladies of the United States, from Martha Washington to Melania Trump. Not all First Ladies were the wife of the President, and each dealt in her own way with the inherent tension between the public nature of the role and the discomfort of society with women in public positions. Many of these varied and often overlooked women made valuable contributions and helped shape the Presidency of their husband, brother, or father.
This program will be presented in person at the library. If you cannot attend, you can join by Zoom - register below to receive the link. To anticipate attendance, we encourage everybody to register, whether attending in person or by Zoom.
