DEAR FIRST LADY(ISBN=9781426200878) 英文原版 fb2 免费 lrf 下载 kindle azw3 pdf 阿里云

　　Following on the success of their recent collaboration Dear

Mr. President, Dwight Young and Margaret Johnson join forces once

again to produce this charming collection of correspondence to and

from First Ladies during their time in office. A wonderful gift

book for any American, Dear First Lady reminds us that ours is a

great government "of the people, by the people, and for the

people," which entitles us to make our views known to our leaders.

Although some of these missives were written by the famous or the

infamous, most are from ordinary Americans who wished to connect

with their First Lady. Amusing, appealling, heartbreaking, and

heartwarming, the letters appear as full-size facsimiles wherever

possible so readers can see for themselves the substance and style

of these intriguing exchanges.

Dwight Young annotates each letter with biographical and

historical stories that illuminate the context and provide broader

insights into the public and private lives of presidents’ wives.

Richly illustrated with archival photography and images, Dear First

Lady paints a fascinating portrait of American culture and a

behind-the-scenes look inside the White House.

With presidential history a perennial best-seller, and interest

in First Ladies growing as these influential women make ever more

prominent contributions to the society and public policy, this rich

volume holds limitless gift potential.
