Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We discovered that Nancy Reagan, and even her astrologer, had a major impact on Ronald Reagan's schedule and policy decisions. Was Barbara Bush a major factor in President Bush's administration? If the histories of the fifteen powerful First Ladies revealed in this book are any indication, Mrs. Bush's influence should be right up there with our nation's top cabinet members. Readers will learn how Rosalyn Carter sat in on most cabinet meetings and could barely hide her dominating personality-and how Jackie Kennedy was much more than the fashion accessory the press took her for. From Mrs Bush back to Mrs Hoover, this first-of-its-kind superbly researched book on America's First Ladies is sure to shock, inform and delight readers.
