In our next episode, I speak with journalist and author Kate Anderson Broward. Her book First Women, The Grace and Power of America's Modern First Ladies offers a glimpse into the lives of the women of the White House, from Jackie Kennedy to Michelle Obama.
Episode: First Ladies | No Handbook | 6
The author talked about what motivated her to write this book. It started with her book "The Residence" and observing the influence of the First Lady in the White House. She decided to analyze the modern First Ladies, from Jackie Kennedy to Michelle Obama, and see how they navigated their role, which was often undefined.
"
Well, I wrote a book called The Residence about the people who work at the White House behind the scenes, and they all told me that the person who makes all the decisions in the White House is really the first lady.
And so it made me think about the role of the first lady and how important it is in the actual running of the White House, and then also how complicated that position has always been. It's very fraught in our history.
And I looked at first ladies from Jackie Kennedy until Michelle Obama and sort of delved into how they dealt with this very undefined role. They're just trying to live their lives in the White House, raise kids, trying to figure out what to do with their platform.
