Meet the real women married to the most powerful public officeholders in the land.

The First Lady is the most visible woman in America -- and the most admired.  From the clothes she wears to the causes she supports, her every move is played out before the scrutiny of a curious nation.  People want to know:  how does the wife of the president raise her children, decorate her home, entertain her guests?  What does she confide to her friends and what does she tell the president?

Because the Chief Executive often turns to his wife for counsel, the First Lady's influence has helped shape the office of the presidency.  And because visitors from all over the world pass through the family's quarters, her preferences in fashion, food, art and entertainment reflect on the entire nation.  Unelected and unappointed, the First Lady of the United States is nonetheless a leader.

Here, in a spectacular volume of over 200 photos -- many not published before -- are America's First Ladies in all their roles:  * Family Woman * Associate President * Keeper of the White House * Leader of Women * After the White House.

No mere compendium of lives and achievements, America's First Ladies is both a fascinating journey through 200 years of American history and a private audience with the presidential wives who helped shape it.
