Description: This book came to be written because of my strong belief that the wives of the Presidents are not receiving fair treatment in the media -- or in history. The Presidents' wives through the years have encouraged their husbands to discuss problems with them, been protective of their husbands when they are ill, and defended and encouraged their children. These are traits and actions common to many women. Most had individual pursuits and enjoyments as well, from painting to politics. I want my readers to get acquainted with each woman AS a woman, and as an individual.
