Description:
America's First Ladies occupy a special place in our history, and the Encyclopedia of First Ladies paints a vivid group portrait of these remarkable women. Individually, each title recounts the life and contributions of one First Lady against a backdrop of the social and political history of her times. Readers will be fascinated to meet these hardworking wives and mothers, canny politicians, social activists, gracious hostesses, and shrewd businesswomen.
As a group, the entire series presents an intriguing and important viewpoint on U.S. history -- one told through the eyes of women, and one that mirrors the history of the women's movement in America. As women's roles in society have changed, so have those of the First Lady (and many First Ladies had a direct affect on social change). Now far-removed from the position of mere hostess and political outsider, modern First Ladies have become directly involved in policy issues and are vital advocates for important social issues.
Children's Press is proud to present the only series of this type for young readers. As a companion to the Encyclopedia of the Presidents, these comprehensive biographical and historical texts will demand an equally important place on every library's shelves.
