A first lady is a role model for the women of her time. For generations, women have faced the demands of this position with courage and strength. The First Ladies series follows each woman's life from childhood to the White House and beyond. Colorful photographs and easy-to-read text guide readers through each first lady's challenges and triumphs. Sidebars and a timeline give historical context to the stories of these incredible women.
This book introduces young readers to the life of Nancy Reagan, beginning with her childhood on the East Coast and later in Chicago, Illinois. Readers will become familiar with her dreams as they learn about her time at Smith College, her experiences acting both on Broadway and in Hollywood, and her marriage to Ronald Reagan. Details of Mrs. Reagan’s years as First Lady, when she volunteered with the Foster Grandparent Program and began the Just Say No campaign for drug awareness, are also discussed. The book also covers her later years, when she dedicated her life to promoting awareness of Alzheimer’s disease. Informative sidebars and full-color photos accompany easy-to-read, engaging text. Includes timeline, fun facts, index, and glossary.
