DESCRIPTORS *Archives; *Authors; *Females; Modern History; Presidents of the United States; Primary Sources; Resource Materials; Social History; *United States History IDENTIFIERS *First Ladies (United States); *Personal Writing; Public Records; Social Power; Twentieth Century; Womens History ABSTRACT This collection of essays about the Presidential wives of the 20th century through Nancy Reagan. An exploration of the records of first ladies will elicit diverse insights about the historical impact of these women in their times. Interpretive theories that explain modern first ladies are still tentative and exploratory. The contention in the essays, however, is that whatever direction historical writing on presidential wives may follow, there is little question that the future role of first ladies is more likely to expand than to recede to the days of relatively silent and passive helpmates. Following a foreword and an introduction, essays in the collection and their authors are, as follows: "Meeting a New Century: The Papers of Four Twentieth-Century First Ladies" (Mary M.

  • First Lady Memo July 22
    MEMORANDUM From: Harrison Wellford To: John Podesta Re: Office of the First Lady [First Draft] Date: July 22, 2008 INTRODUCTION The position of First Lady is, in many ways, a great national paradox. The job has no statutory responsibilities, but can be central to the administration’s success. It holds no official power, but carries with it an intricate web of public expectations. The First Lady is unelected, but represents the entire country. She did not apply for the job; nor can she quit or be fired from it. She must be simultaneously private and public, traditional and modern, apolitical and political. She takes on the varied roles of idealized wife and mother, policy activist, First Hostess to hundreds of thousands, steward of the White House, diplomat, style icon, and presidential spokeswoman, and acts as the nation’s caretaker and moral compass. And she does all of this in an evolving position with no set job description or guidebook (or salary). Now, for the good side: The First Lady’s role in any administration will reflect her unique tastes, interests, and abilities. She is free to design her role and her office in a way that suits her. The First Lady has options in how she will choose to spend her time and energies. She has a support structure, much of it in place at the Inauguration, ready and waiting to carry her hopes into action. And she is uniquely positioned – with one of the most influential podiums in the world at her disposal – to effect tremendous change. The job is a unique and formidable challenge but one that offers immense opportunities to inspire and to serve.

  • White House Chief Usher: Equal Parts Ringmaster, Palace Guard, and Consigliere by Kate Andersen Brower Updated 10:34 PM ET, Sat July 1, 2017
    White House chief usher: equal parts ringmaster, palace guard, and consigliere By Kate Andersen Brower Updated 10:34 PM ET, Sat July 1, 2017 Story highlights A former employee of a Trump hotel is announced as the next chief usher The position was once above the political fray, writes Kate Andersen Brower “Kate Andersen Brower is a CNN contributor and the author of "First Women: The Grace and Power of America's Modern First Ladies" and "The Residence: Inside the Private World of the White House." The views expressed in this commentary are solely hers. ” (CNN)Traditionally, the chief usher of the White House hasn't been someone who comes and goes with each administration; it's a position that endures. The White House chief usher as a fixture of the institution is as American as apple pie. Chief ushers used to be tied to the White House itself. Now, their tenures are associated with the presidents who chose them. Loyalty has shifted from the office to the officeholder. First lady Melania Trump recently announced that Timothy Harleth, who worked at the Trump International Hotel in Washington, will be the next White House chief usher. He joins a select group of men, and one woman, who've held the job. In the past hundred years there have been 18 presidents but only eight chief ushers -- Harleth will be the ninth. Like the presidency, the chief usher's role has evolved, and Harleth's hire suggests that the position, once above the political fray, is becoming more insular and more partisan.

  • Beyond Paris
    Beyond Paris Jacqueline Kennedy and the Presidency A Thesis Submitted to the Committee on Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in the Faculty of Arts and Science TRENT UNIVERSITY Peterborough, Ontario, Canada © Copyright by Allen George Priest 2014 History M.A. Graduate Program January 2015 Abstract Beyond Paris: Jacqueline Kennedy and the Presidency Allen George Priest A presidential spouse in an era of rigid gender norms, Jacqueline Kennedy frequently straddled the divide between celebrity, social acceptability, and personal desire. Yet, history remembers America’s thirty-seventh First Lady more for her fashion and soft- spoken nature. Forgotten is that she was a ‘transitional’ figure, who oversaw America’s largest restoration of the White House and served as a ‘goodwill ambassador’ for her husband. When three gunshots brought their tenure to an abrupt end, Jackie’s focus shifted and she fixated on the creation of a legacy that immortalized JFK. ‘Camelot,’ is a construct almost exclusively conceived and executed by the former First Lady. In this vein, the coming exploration delves into the private actions of Jackie during her time in as First Lady, contrasting them sharply with her public image. What emerges is a portrait the world seldom saw: one driven by raw intellect and a desire to be of service to her husband and country. Keywords: Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, First Lady, President, United States, White House, Charles de Gaulle, Nikita Khrushchev, Jawalharal Nehru, Restoration, Assassination, Image, Memory, Legacy, Camelot. ii Acknowledgements This project began in the winter of 2011, as a term paper for a course taught by the phenomenal Dr.
