**This class will be taught on Zoom**
America’s First Ladies are not elected, yet over time, they have come to serve significant roles during their time in the White House. In this class we will explore the lives and contributions of the first six First Ladies. How did they live? How did they support and influence their President husbands? Some are famous in their own right, like Martha Washington, Abigail Adams, and Dolly Madison, while others are little known shadow characters of history. Using a variety of visuals, lecture, and discussion, we will explore the lives of the first six First Ladies. (First Ladies Washington through Jackson)
