Inhalt:

With contributions from nearly 40 scholars, A Companion to the First Ladies presents the first comprehensive historiographical overview of the First Ladies, the wives - or sometimes other female relatives - who have stood by U.S. presidents, often as powerful political figures in their own right. The original essays that make up this collection address the impact of these women not only on White House responsibilities, but on elections, presidential policies, social causes, and in shaping their husbands' legacies. This volume brings the First Ladies into crisp historiographical focus, assessing how these women and their contributions have been perceived in both popular literature and scholarly debate. Covering all of the First Ladies through to the present, from Martha Washington through Michelle Obama, it underlines the growing scholarly appreciation for a position that has itself gone through a great deal of evolution since the early American Republic.
