Award-winning author Ann Bausum takes readers inside the White House to meet the women who have played the roles of partners, confidantes, hostesses, and activists in the midst of American history. Readers can learn of fascinating lives led by the wives (and sometimes daughters, nieces and friends) of our country's leaders. Bausum introduces readers to a private side of each First Lady, and connects each personality with the public persona to produce a book of uniquely revealing portraits. Launch date: 2007.
