First Ladies, in the Dorling Kindersley Eyewitness popular reference book series, introduces readers to every one of America's first ladies, including the sisters and nieces who stepped in as official hostesses when needed. Learn about the first ladies who played exceptionally strong roles in their husbands' administrations--at a time when women were only expected to meekly look after their households. Many of these women changed the course of history, using their own influence and that of the president to achieve women's suffrage, fight against racism, and advocate for education. Stunning photos and illustrations of these remarkable women fill the pages, detailing their clothing, fans, and jewelry; their campaign buttons and knickknacks; and their husbands. The photos are accompanied by compelling captions and brief text about each woman, as well as a box highlighting the president she married, her years as first lady, and her birth, marriage, and death dates. Young readers of both genders will be proud to trace America's history through the eyes of these behind-the-scenes powerhouses. (Ages 9 and older) --Emilie Coulter
