American history has never been so fascinating than in this collection of biographies about the secrets, scandals, and trivia of the first ladies of the United States
Whether she's a leading lady, loyal spouse, or lightning rod for scandal, the First Lady of the United States has always been in the spotlight-and in 2017 that was truer than ever. This revised and expanded edition from Quirk's best-selling Secret Lives series features outrageous and uncensored profiles of the women of the White House, fromMartha WashingtontoMelania Trump, it comes complete with hundreds of little-known, politically incorrect, and downright wacko facts. Did you know that-

. Mary Todd Lincoln conducted seances on a regular basis
. Eleanor Roosevelt and Ellen Wilson both carried guns
. Jacqueline Kennedy spent $121,000 on her wardrobe in a single year
. Betty Ford liked to chat on CB radios-her handle was "First Mama"
With chapters on every woman who's ever made it to the White House, Secret Lives of the First Ladies tackles all the tough questions that other history books are afraid to ask- How many of these women owned slaves? Which ones were cheating on their husbands? And why was Eleanor Roosevelt serving hot dogs to the King and Queen of England? American history was never this much fun in school!
