About this listen

 Tammy Vigil discusses the roles expected of first ladies and how they perform those roles can be an asset or a liability to the president. Dolley Madison's dinner party diplomacy, Eleanor Roosevelt's media savvy and Florence Harding's campaign advising all helped their husbands' political careers. Yet first ladies also have found themselves swept up in scandals and controversies during their time in the White House.
