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"--
