  • Ranking America's First Ladies Eleanor Roosevelt Still #1 Abigail Adams Regains 2 Place Hillary Moves from 2 to 5 ; Jackie
    For Immediate Release: Monday, September 29, 2003 Ranking America’s First Ladies Eleanor Roosevelt Still #1 nd Abigail Adams Regains 2 Place Hillary moves from 2 nd to 5 th ; Jackie Kennedy from 7 th th to 4 Mary Todd Lincoln Up From Usual Last Place Loudonville, NY - After the scrutiny of three expert opinion surveys over twenty years, Eleanor Roosevelt is still ranked first among all other women who have served as America’s First Ladies, according to a recent expert opinion poll conducted by the Siena (College) Research Institute (SRI). In other news, Mary Todd Lincoln (36 th ) has been bumped up from last place by Jane Pierce (38 th ) and Florence Harding (37 th ). The Siena Research Institute survey, conducted at approximate ten year intervals, asks history professors at America’s colleges and universities to rank each woman who has been a First Lady, on a scale of 1-5, five being excellent, in ten separate categories: *Background *Integrity *Intelligence *Courage *Value to the *Leadership *Being her own *Public image country woman *Accomplishments *Value to the President “It’s a tracking study,” explains Dr. Douglas Lonnstrom, Siena College professor of statistics and co-director of the First Ladies study with Thomas Kelly, Siena professor-emeritus of American studies. “This is our third run, and we can chart change over time.” Siena Research Institute is well known for its Survey of American Presidents, begun in 1982 during the Reagan Administration and continued during the terms of presidents George H. Bush, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush (http://www.siena.edu/sri/results/02AugPresidentsSurvey.htm ).

  • Our First Ladies
    This summary is by Carl Sferrazza Anthony First Lady is the unofficial title given to the wives of American presidents, or to the female relatives whom single or widowed presidents designated to serve as their hostesses. Never mentioned in the Constitution and unsalaried for the full-time work required, First Ladies have been idealized on the national and then the global stage as a symbol of American womanhood. Their roles have evolved under pressure from the press and the public, and provided a window on American political, economic and social life generally. Martha Washington (1789-1797), by simply continuing to share the home life with her husband when he became the first American president and entertaining the political and social elite, found herself revered as an American version of British nobility. The references to her as Lady Washington, her popular war-era nickname, suggests that she was elevated to a symbol of leadership. For most of the next half-century, the primary role of a president’s wife was to be the hostess in her home — the White House — not only for private guests, but also for the general public at open-house receptions. Recognizing the citizenry as her constituency, the ebullient hostess Dolley Madison (1809-1817) relished her public role. Known as "Lady Madison," recalling the title bestowed on Martha Washington, she became the standard against which later First Ladies were judged.

  • Zoom in on America American First Ladies the Office of the First Lady Did Not Formally Exist Until the Presidency of Jimmy Carter in the 1970S
    September 2014 A Monthly Publication of the U.S. Consulate Krakow Volume X. Issue 119 f i r s t l a d i e s Jacqueline Kennedy (AP Photo) In this issue: American First Ladies Zoom in on America American First Ladies The Office of the First Lady did not formally exist until the presidency of Jimmy Carter in the 1970s. First Ladies have, however, played a vital role since the founding of the United States. There have been 49 First Ladies in the history of the United States, and each has left an imprint on the presidency. With the passing of time, the role of the first Lady has risen in prominence. Along with women’s emancipation and the equal rights movement, the role of the First Lady also has changed significantly. Below is a list of the women who acted as First Ladies since 1789. Not all of the First Ladies were wives of the presidents. In a few cases, U.S. presidents were widowers when they took office or became widowers during office. In such cases a female relative played the role of First Lady. THE FIRST LADY YEARS OF TENURE Martha Dandridge Custis Washington (1731-1802), wife of George Washington 1789 - 1797 Abigail Smith Adams (1744 - 1818), wife of John Adams 1797 - 1801 Martha Jefferson Randolph (1772 - 1836), daughter of Thomas Jefferson 1801 - 1809 Dolley Payne Todd Madison (1768 - 1849), wife of James Madison 1809 - 1817 Elizabeth Kortright Monroe (1768 - 1830), wife of James Monroe 1817 - 1825 Louisa Catherine Johnson Adams (1775 - 1852), wife of John Quincy Adams 1825 - 1829 Emily Donelson (1807 - 1836), niece of Andrew Jackson 1829 - 1834 Sarah Jackson (1803 - 1887), daughter-in-law of Andrew Jackson 1834 - 1837 Angelica Van Buren (1818 - 1877), daughter-in-law of Martin Van Buren 1839 - 1841 Anna Tuthill Symmes Harrison (1775 - 1864), wife of William Henry Harrison 1841 - 1841 Letitia Christian Tyler(1790 - 1842), wife of John Tyler 1841 - 1842 Priscilla Tyler (1816 - 1889), daughter-in-law of John Tyler 1842 - 1844 Julia Gardiner Tyler (1820 - 1889), wife of John Tyler 1844 -1845 Sarah Childress Polk (1803 - 1891), wife of James K.

  • THE LADY in BLACK – November 2019 by Chip Jacobs by the Time
    THE LADY IN BLACK – November 2019 by Chip Jacobs By the time she settled into her South Pasadena dream house, Lucretia Garfield was a longtime member of an exclusive, bloodstained club uniquely American. Besides her, only Mary Todd Lincoln and Ida Saxton McKinley had stomached the horror of being the widow to an assassinated president. Though it’d been a quarter century since a deranged stalker with an ivory-handled pistol mortally shot her husband, James A. Garfield, in a Washington, D.C. train station, Lucretia out west continued mourning the loss of her college-sweetheart-turned-spouse. In public, the hollow-cheeked septuagenarian with short, curly locks and austere expressions frequently swathed herself in dark clothes, per Victorian tradition, accenting it with a medallion in James’ honor. Her moniker: “The Lady in Black.” The daughter of a carpenter-farmer from Hiram, Ohio, Lucretia never desired that grim legacy. Who would? She was well educated and curious, a onetime teacher reputed to be a more talented orator than even her husband. Neither was born from privilege, and both were gifted thinkers. James, it’s said, solved the tricky Pythagorean theorem (when he wasn’t leading a country still recovering from a decimating Civil War). Lucretia’s mettle was never open for debate, not after she survived the deaths of two children, a case of malaria, or discovering that her tall, bearded partner—a former college president, Army colonel, and congressman—once had a New York City mistress. As First Lady, the fetching Midwesterner with wide-set eyes studied up on White House history before making two brave decisions: ending the ban on alcohol there but biting her tongue in support of woman’s suffrage, despite her convictions about female empowerment.

  • First Ladies and Educational Causes
    A Brief History of Women as Teachers in America Prior to the American Revolution, the common thought was that daughters needed to learn only what was important for their duties as wives and mothers. However, as the young nation developed, there was a shortage of available males due to war and other labor demands. Consequently females were included as students, and eventually accepted as elementary school teachers. By the mid-nineteenth century, teaching was considered a natural extension of a woman’s caretaking nature. Teaching was also one of the few respectable jobs a woman could have, and while the salary was around half of what men received, the job afforded women independence before marriage. Still, society dictated that a woman’s main goal in life was to marry successfully and educate her children in the home. First Ladies and Teaching The First Ladies featured in this part of the exhibit were all school teachers in the 1800s. They were remarkable because they had parents who had the means and the desire to educate them. Lucretia Garfield and Caroline Harrison were fortunate enough to attend college. While only Abigail Fillmore continued to teach after marriage, they all devoted their energies to educating their children. Abigail Powers Fillmore (1798-1853) Abigail Powers Fillmore began teaching school at the age of sixteen. Not only was she a well-respected teacher, she was also a passionate and enthusiastic lifetime learner. In addition to teaching, the young Abigail Powers helped establish a circulating library near her home, a prototype to the public library Abigail Fillmore of today.
