Download or read book Wives of the American Presidents, 2d ed. written by Carole Chandler Waldrup and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2016-04-06 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Their personalities often set the tone for Washington society, from Julia Tyler's open hospitality to Sarah Polk's somber religious devotion. Some, like Abigail Adams, had little formal schooling. Others, such as Pat Nixon and Hillary Clinton, earned college degrees. There were those who outlived their spouses as well as women who died before seeing their husbands realize their presidential dreams. In spite of differing circumstances, these presidential wives influenced--sometimes overtly and often inadvertently--everything from domestic political agendas to foreign policy through their relationships with their husbands. This book discusses the lives and circumstances of the women who have been married to an American president. It emphasizes the relationship each wife had with her husband and the ways in which this contributed to the success or failure of his presidency. Details include birthplace, upbringing, political viewpoints and final resting place. Chapters are also included on women such as Hannah Van Buren and Jane Wyman, who although married to men who eventually became president, never became first lady.

Download or read book A Genealogy of the Wives of the American Presidents and Their First Two Generations of Descent written by Craig Hart and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2014-11-01 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Martha Washington to Laura Bush, the wife of each U.S. president has found her place in history, often setting trends and doing important work for the nation. This reference work traces the lineage of all presidents' wives, arranged alphabetically from Abigail Adams to Jane Wyman. Genealogy reveals that some of the women are connected to one another through common ancestry, sometimes even through royal blood--for example, the bloodlines of Laura Bush and Abigail Adams join at King Henry II and can then be traced to King Pepin the Short, born in 714. Several others can be traced back to King John, William the Conqueror, Charlemagne, and Lady Godiva. Clearly organized and easy to use, the work includes not only ancestors but offspring, listing children and grandchildren for each woman. Dates of birth, death, and marriage of ancestors, children and grandchildren are included where known.

Download or read book Presidents' Wives written by Carole Chandler Waldrup and published by McFarland. This book was released on 1989 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
