Anthony presents a sketch of each [first lady] with
information about their early years as well as the unusual strengths of
character for which they are noted.
School Library Journal
Author Anthony, a speech writer for Nancy Reagan, examines the contributions
of Reagan, as well as of Dolley Madison, Mary Lincoln,
Nellie Taft, Florence Harding, Eleanor Roosevelt,
Jacqueline Kennedy, Lady Bird Johnson, Betty Ford,
Rosalynn Carter, and Hillary Rodham Clinton. As Betty Ford
writes in her foreword, these first ladies worked both quietly and
forcefully for the things they believed were important.
