What’s It all About?
Audience:

Betty Boyd Caroli’s engrossing and informative First Ladies is both a captivating read and an essential resource for anyone interested in the role of America’s First Ladies. This expanded and updated fourth edition includes Laura Bush’s tenure, Hillary Clinton’s 2008 presidential bid, and an in-depth look at Michelle Obama, one of the most charismatic and appealing First Ladies in recent history. Covering all forty-one women from Martha Washington to Michelle Obama and including the daughters, daughters-in-law, and sisters of presidents who sometimes served as First Ladies, Caroli explores each woman’s background, marriage, and accomplishments and failures in office. This remarkably diverse lot included Abigail Adams, whose “remember the ladies” became a twentieth-century feminist refrain; Jane Pierce, who prayed her husband would lose the election; Helen Taft, who insisted onliving in the White House, although her husband would have preferred a judgeship; Eleanor Roosevelt, who epitomized the politically involved First Lady; and Pat Nixon, who perfected what some have called “the robot image.” They ranged in age from early 20s to late 60s; some received superb educationsfor their time, while others had little or no schooling. Including the courageous and adventurous, the emotionally unstable, the ambitious, and the reserved, these women often did not fit the traditional expectations of a presidential helpmate. Here then is an engaging portrait of how each First Lady changed the role and how the role changed in response to American culture. These women left remarkably complete records, and their stories offer us a window through which to view not only this particular sorority of women, but also American women in general. “Impressive…Caroli’s profiles and observations of American first ladies and their relationship to the media are intelligent and perceptive.” –Philadelphia Inquirer

Michelle Obama In Her Own Words Rogak, Lisa (editor)/ Obama, Michelle
Price: £8.19

Title: Michelle Obama in Her Own WordsAuthor: Rogak, Lisa (Editor)/ Obama, Michelle

Description: Presents quotes from notable speeches and interviews by Michelle Obama on topics including family life, her husband, the 2008 Presidential election, and being a role model.

There’s a lot to learn about history-making First Lady Michelle Obama. Her glamorous good looks, no-nonsense approach, and quirky sense of humor have intrigued many Americans. Drawing on quotations from a variety of sources – including newspaper and magazine articles, transcripts, speeches, and TV interviews and profiles – this concise book of quotations provides a highly readable survey of Michelle Obama’s thoughts, words, and beliefs. From her reflections on balancing work and motherhood to her role in the White House, Michelle Obnmu in her Own Words is an easy-to-use and accessible reference guide. — Blackwell North Amer

In time for Mother’s Day—the companion book to the New York Times bestseller Barack Obama in His Own Words — Perseus Publishing

The election of Barack Obama has brought worldwide attention not only to what his policies will be, but to what kind of First Lady Michelle Obama will be. Throughout the long campaign season, Michelle Robinson Obama garnered a good amount of attention, kudos and criticism about her words, actions, even her appearance, but few people know what kind of role she will play once she settles into the White House. One clue is to examine her words and statements of the past, and the proposed book Michelle Obama In Her Own Words will show readers who are eager to learn more about America’s new history-making First Lady. Michelle Obama In Her Own Words will be a book that contains 200-250 quotations arranged in approximately 75 different categories. A short introduction and biography of the new First Lady will precede the quotes. Drawing on quotations from a variety of newspaper and magazine articles, transcripts, speeches, and TV interviews and profiles, the quotations date from Michelle’s career as a high-powered corporate lawyer in Chicago and her high-powered executive jobs in the Chicago Mayor’s office and at the University of Chicago, up through the election of November 5th, 2008. Rogak locates and organizes the funny, fascinating, inspiring (and occasionally controversial) words of our future First Lady, on topics such as:

• Abortion• Affirmative Action• Balancing career and family• Barack’s safet
