Thanks.

And also if you have any good first ladies that could have a conversation together that would be good, because me and a friend are thinking about combining our projects so if you have any frist ladies I'd greatly appreciate it!!!

Answer 1

try dolley madison and louisa adams both had curly hair and were early so you can dress all pretty

Answer 2

I think Eleanor Roosevelt would be a great choice; a very inspiring lady who not only had a lot written about her, but also wrote a lot herself.

But if you want to go further back in history, Dolley Madison was a very interesting and famous First Lady. There was a lot written about her.

If you like dressing up; Jacqueline Kennedy, a very well-known and modern day First Lady who is also very interesting with lots written about her. She, however, does not have curly hair.

You might have a hard time finding out if First Ladies were pro-life or not; it wasn't until the 1970s that abortion was even a political issue. So the only First Ladies who would have a publicly-made opinion would have been the recent ones.

Here's the White House list of First Ladies, with pictures and biographies for each: http://www.whitehouse.gov/history/firstladies/

Good luck and let us know who you decide to choose!

Answer 3

Barbara Bush

Answer 4

I agree with your first answer, Eleanor Roosevelt would be someone who would be a very good example of a First Lady. Best of luck on your project.

Answer 5

Eleanor Roosevelt.

Answer 6

Nancy Reagan
"My life really began when I married my husband," says Nancy Reagan, who in the 1950's happily gave up an acting career for a permanent role as the wife of Ronald Reagan and mother to their children. Her story actually begins in New York City, her birthplace. She was born on July 6, 1921. When the future First Lady was six, her mother, Edith--a stage actress--married Dr. Loyal Davis, a neurosurgeon. Dr. Davis adopted Nancy, and she grew up in Chicago. It was a happy time: summer camp, tennis, swimming, dancing. She received her formal education at Girls' Latin School and at Smith College in Massachusetts, where she majored in theater.

or Betty Ford

Born Elizabeth Anne Bloomer in Chicago, she grew up in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and graduated from high school there.
Betty Ford faced her new life as First Lady with dignity and serenity. She accepted it as a challenge. "I like challenges very much," she said. She had the self-confidence to express herself with humor and forthrightness whether speaking to friends or to the public. Forced to undergo radical surgery for breast cancer in 1974, she reassured many troubled women by discussing her ordeal openly. She explained that "maybe if I as First Lady could talk about it candidly and without embarrassment, many other people would be able to as well." As soon as possible, she resumed her duties as hostess at the Executive Mansion and her role as a public-spirited citizen. She did not hesitate to state her views on controversial issues such as the Equal Rights Amendment, which she strongly supported.
