DISCUSSION THEME
Forgotten First Ladies Who Influenced America
Participants will begin this event by viewing a recording of the conversation outlined below:
Historian Teri Finneman joins moderator Larry Skogen to explore the often-overlooked influence of America’s First Ladies. Drawing on examples from across U.S. history, Dr. Finneman examines how women in the White House shaped political culture, public perception, and national priorities despite lacking formal power, and how their contributions have frequently been minimized or forgotten. The conversation invites a reconsideration of political influence, visibility, and women’s roles in shaping American history.
