First First Ladies 1789-1865: A Study Of The Wives Of The Early Presidents is a historical book written by Mary Ormsbee Whitton. The book focuses on the lives and roles of the wives of the first seven presidents of the United States, from Martha Washington to Mary Todd Lincoln. The author provides an in-depth analysis of the political and social contexts in which these women lived, and how they influenced and were influenced by their husbands' presidencies. Whitton also examines the cultural expectations placed on these women and how they navigated their public and private lives. Through primary sources and historical records, the author sheds light on the personal struggles and triumphs of these women, and the impact they had on shaping the role of the First Lady in American politics. This book is an insightful and engaging read for anyone interested in the history of the United States and the women who helped shape it.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
