Beyond our individual selves, we live out our lives relating to four distinct but overlapping spheres: (1) family, (2) work, (3) government, and (4) civil society. Of these four spheres, civil society allows us the most freedom. Think about it. Everybody is born into a family that he or she had no voice in choosing. Most everybody must enter a contractual relationship in the marketplace to earn a living. Just about everybody has to pay taxes to a government that has a monopoly over legitimate force and coersion. In all three of those spheres, our freedom of choice is limited.

  • First Ladies and American Women: Representation in the Modern Presidency
    First Ladies and American Women: Representation in the Modern Presidency Jill Abraham Hummer Winchester. Virginia Master of Arts. University of Virginia. 2003 Bachelor of Arts, Allegheny College. 2000 A Dissertation presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Politics University of Virginia May 2007 11 -Abstract- This dissertation examines the American First Ladies' performanceas a representative from 1920 through the present. I argue that representing women has been one oftheir most important representative tasks. This project applies Hanna Fenichel Pitkin's concepts of representation to reach new conclusions about First Ladies' contributions to the presidency. Drawing on presidency research, as well as women and politics and gender studies literature, this project posits a developmental theory concerning the origin and evolution oftheir representative roles. The implications of their women-focused political representation are analyzed through the concepts oftransgendering and : -i regendering. First Ladies' performanceas a representative has been expressed through several concrete roles. Chapter One examines the work of candidates' wives in reaching out to women voters. Chapter Two focuseson First Ladies acting for women as public liaisons. Chapter Three considers First Ladies' attempts to integrate women into national economic policy and programs through their roles as homemakers and consumers. Chapter Four evaluates First Ladies' lobbying and educative effortson behalf of the Equal Rights Amendment. And Chapter Five analyzes First Ladies' performanceas public diplomats to women abroad. Evidentiary support for this dissertation comes mainly fromprimary source materials contained within presidential library archives around the country. 111 -Table of Contents- Acknowledgments................................................

Through document analysis of campaign materials and interviews with campaign planners, an in-depth examination of the campaign’s planning, strategies, tactics, executions, challenges, and successes are presented. Discussion of these elements as well as a SWOT analysis reveals the agenda-building strategies that were most successful for this campaign, which include awareness events, partnership building, grassroots outreach, and media outreach. The campaign audit concludes with a set of recommendations for moving forward with the campaign, and describes how this modern- day campaign is an excellent model of agenda building that other groups can emulate. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The author would like to extend her gratitude to her thesis committee for their support and encouragement during the thesis process.

  • First Ladies in Red by Betty O'neill-Roderick Ohio.Com Akron Beacon Journal
    The finale of the Red Dress Collection Fashion Show 2008 at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week with Heart Truth ambassador Mrs. Laura Bush. First Ladies in red By Betty O'Neill-Roderick Ohio.com Akron Beacon Journal POSTED: 11:24 a.m. EST, Jan 07, 2009 When Michele Obama wore a red dress on election night she was following a long tradition of "Ladies in Red." Now as the country gets ready for the Inauguration of our 44th President, the National First Ladies' Library in Canton, Ohio, presents The Heart Truth's First Ladies Red Dress Collection. First Ladies contributed red dresses from their personal wardrobes for this exhibit which raises awareness of health care issues. The Library worked with the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute to bring this special exhibit to Canton. The red dress is the national symbol for women and heart disease and thus is the centerpiece of The Heart Truth, a national awareness campaign that warns women about their risk of heart disease and inspires them to take action to lower it. First Lady Laura Bush served as the national ambassador for The Heart Truth campaign and has traveled throughout the country to raise awareness of women's risk for heart disease, which is the leading cause of death for women. Her slender red jacket dress is shown along with Barbara Bush's flowing red dress. The overall Caring Hearts exhibit focuses on the varied health causes of First Ladies, - Lou Henry Hoover co-founded the Women's Division of the National Amateur Athletic Federation; Betty Ford's personal struggle with drug and alcohol addiction led her to establish The Betty Ford Center; and Hillary Clinton's mission was to try to develop a national health care system.

  • Caring Hearts: the Health of a Nation
    Health Related Causes and First Ladies Contemporary First Ladies are inspired to bring attention to matters that speak to their hearts. Each realized the privilege her name would bring to a national problem with the hope that the attention would bring about change for the better. It is no surprise that many First Ladies were concerned with health issues. Their interests stemmed from personal experience and awareness that shaped their lives as daughters, wives, career women and mothers. We are fortunate as a nation that a few of our First Ladies boldly embraced issues that were unglamorous, uncomfortable, and appeared unsolvable. Each was impassioned to tackle a health care problem before, during and after her first ladyship – and we thank them. Lou Henry Hoover founding member of the Women’s Division of the National Amateur Athletic Federation (NAAF) Lou Henry Hoover (1874-1944) was an early advocate for women’s sporting activities. As a student at Stanford University, she played baseball, tennis and basketball, and she became president of the Stanford Women’s Athletic Association in her senior year. This was not the norm for a young woman growing up in the late 1800s. The Victorian standard for women was limited to household duties and emphasized their roles as wives and mothers. The early 1920s ushered in a new emphasis on physical health. This was mainly due to two national calamities: the influenza epidemic of 1918-1919 and the alarming number of American men found to be unfit for service during World War I. Lou Hoover, already a known national leader for the Girl Scouts, was involved from the conception of the National Amateur Athletic Federation (NAAF) in 1922 until her death in 1944.

  • Fashion with a Heart: First Ladies' Red Dresses on Display in Canton
    Fashion with a heart: First ladies' red dresses on display in Canton The Repository/Scott Heckel Nancy Reagan (left) and Rosalynn Carter wore these red outfits on display at the National First Ladies’ Library in Canton. Related Links On the Web Photo gallery of red dresses at First Ladies National Library and Museum By Gary Brown CantonRep.com staff writer Posted Dec 10, 2008 @ 12:39 PM Last update Dec 10, 2008 @ 01:01 PM CANTON — Barbara Bush’s dress has a flowing appearance, while daughter-in-law Laura Bush’s dress is more slenderizing. Hillary Clinton’s dress is shorter and more businesslike, and Rosalynn Carter’s “dress” isn’t a dress at all. It’s a suit. What all of these garments in an exhibit at the National First Ladies’ Library have in common with several other dresses provided by first ladies and celebrities are their colors. All the dresses are shades of red. The Heart Truth’s Red Dress collection, being shown for only the third time, is part of a larger exhibit — “Caring Hearts: The Health of a Nation” — offered in the main floor exhibit hall at the National First Ladies’ Library’s Education and Research Center at 205 Market Ave. S. That larger exhibit focuses on first ladies’ efforts to raise awareness of national health-care concerns. “When we planned on doing an exhibit with the theme of first ladies and their health causes, we thought the red dresses would fit right in,” said Executive Director Patricia Krider, who noted that library founder Mary Regula was the person who secured the rarely seen Red Dress Collection.
