520    "The Smithsonian First Ladies Collection is a beautifully 
       illustrated book inspired by one of the most popular 
       attractions at the Smithsonian: the first ladies exhibit 
       at the National Museum of American History. This striking 
       book showcases the treasures from first ladies throughout 
       history, ranging from Martha Washington's silk dress and 
       dressing mirror to Michelle Obama's 2009 inaugural gown 
       and jewelry. These and many other unforgettable objects--
       including gowns, tableware, and invitations from beloved 
       first ladies such as Mamie Eisenhower, Jacqueline Kennedy,
       Barbara Bush, Hilary Clinton, and more--tell the story of 
       the first ladies as public and private figures. They 
       illustrate how these women, thrust into an influential and
       visible role by happenstance of marriage, adapted 
       themselves and the role of first lady by taking on 
       responsibilities as campaigners, hostesses, and policy 
       advocates. The Smithsonian First Ladies Collection 
       features many treasures not on view at the exhibit. 
       Complete with an insider's look at the acquisition, 
       conservation, and exhibition of the pieces as well as a 
       timeline of all forty-six first ladies, this is a must-
       have for anyone fascinated by these incredible women and 
       their roles in American culture and political life"--
