We had intended to cover the First Ladies a while ago, which ended up morphing into an episode about Eleanor Roosevelt and Amelia Earhart. The FLOTUS material got put aside for a separate series of 20-minute audio lectures that has been collecting dust for over a year. This is the culmination of parts one through five of those courses. Get to know the wives, daughters and nieces who have been behind every man to be President of the United States from the birth of the nation until the inception of the American Red Cross in 1881. The White House will be built, burned, and renovated several times over by an eclectic pool of American Queens, including the “Rose of Long Island”, a cross-eyed equestrian with a strict dress code, and a surprising number of FLOTUS’ that did not support Women’s Suffrage. As a bonus we'll explore a Presidential love affair worthy of Van Halen and dive into the ignominious Petticoat Affair where the "Mean Girls" of the Washington elite cause uproar in the president's cabinet.
