Not Your Mother’s History Book!

Did you know that Mary Todd Lincoln was a shopaholic? Have you heard that Mamie Eisenhower was a sleep-‘til-noon slacker? Which recent first lady’s approval ratings consistently topped her husband’s? Feisty First Ladies is a hilarious and true look at the women of Capitol Hill and is the first book to feature ALL of the first ladies, including the newest resident of the White House for 2009. Part irreverent portrait gallery, party exuberant exposé, Feisty First Ladies and Other Unforgettable White House Women introduces a remarkable array of wild women, from Martha Washington to Abraham Lincoln's spendthrift wife, Mary, to rebellious daughters, like Patti Davis and Amy Carter, who were the tabloid fodder of their day.

Filled with amazing stranger-than-fiction facts from our American history, Feisty First Ladies is a journey into the realm of the eclectic sisterhood whose outrageous words and deeds have rocked the White House, and the nation.
