Event Description

Discover the fascinating stories of First Ladies who stepped into history in surprising ways.

Some officially assumed the title at their husband's inauguration, while others unexpectedly took on the role after a death. Each had a compelling life story filled with triumph and tragedy, whether they embraced the public eye or worked behind the scenes.

Uncover the identities behind unique nicknames like La Belle American, Lemonade Lucy, Shadow of the White House, The Duchess, Yum Yum, Sahara Sarah, and Nervous Nellie.

This engaging talk sheds light on the lives of these often-overlooked women and their lasting impact.
