Nearly sixty years later, Hillary Clinton, an accomplished professional woman and lawyer, tried to mollify her critics by handing out her chocolate-chip cookie recipe. These exchanges tells us as much about the social--and political--roles of women in America as they do about the relation of the first lady to the press and the public. Looking at the personal interaction between each first lady from Martha Washington to Laura Bush and the mass media of her day, Maurine H. Beasley traces the growth of the institution of the first lady as a part of the American political system. Her work shows how media coverage of first ladies, often limited to stereotypical ideas about women, has not adequately reflected the importance of their role. 410 0$aVisions of the American press. 606 $aPresidents' spouses$xPress coverage$zUnited States 606 $aMass media$xPolitical aspects$zUnited States 606 $aPress and politics$zUnited States 606 $aPresidents' spouses$zUnited States$vBiography$vMiscellanea 607 $aUnited States$xPolitics and government$vMiscellanea 615 0$aPresidents' spouses$xPress coverage 615 0$aMass media$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aPress and politics 615 0$aPresidents' spouses 676 $a973.91092 700 $aBeasley$b Maurine Hoffman$01183573 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910735593503321 996 $aFirst ladies and the press$93419004 997 $aUNINA
