- W585588114 abstract "is a response to the increasingly visible role that have played in U.S. government as well as the increasing interest in women's achievements from the birth of the United States to the present time. The book is designed to meet the needs of college and high school students and those seeking information about both U.S. history and women's history. Designed as a companion to Salem's American Presidents, Second Revised Edition (2 vols., 2006), American Ladies presents a biographical essay on each of the in U.S. history. The book is arranged chronologically, and an Alphabetical List of Ladies also helps readers find their chosen profile. The volume opens with a Foreword on the role of by former Maryland Lady Frances Hughes Glendening and an Introduction to the book by the Editor, Robert P. Watson. Biographical essays on the Ladies, including family members who acted in that role for bachelor or widowed Presidents, follow in chronological order by administration. The biographical chapters are formatted to help readers find specific information. Birth and death dates and locations appear at the beginning of each essay. The main text is further divided into sections: Early deals with family and educational background; Marriage and discusses the Lady's relationship with the president; Presidency and Ladyship covers the Lady's years in the House; and Legacy provides additional insights into those activities and accomplishments for which the Lady became known, covering her time during and after the House. A key feature of the volume is the 100 boxed sidebars, which are essays-within-essays. Each biographical chapter features two such sidebars: one discusses the President, assisting the reader in placing the Lady's biography into historical context, while the other focuses on a fascinating episode or anecdote about the Lady herself, highlighting an event or quality for which she is known or with which she is associated. A section of nine overviews examining the historical and changing roles of concludes the main text: Partners, White House Manager, Nation's Social Hostess, First and Social Causes, First and Presidential Campaigns, First and Policy Issues, First and Legislative Activism, Family Life in the House, and Other House Hostesses. These overviews also include sidebars, describing topics such as House renovation attempts." @default.
