Mondays, June 3, 10 & 17, 2:00pm - 4:00pmThis course is presented by the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute, University of Kansas Continuting Education, in partnership with the Senior Resource Center.
The role of first lady has evolved over the years and each first lady puts her own mark on the position. The first woman to be the president's partner, Martha Washington, was greatly influenced by what she had learned during her years of being in camps with her husband. Two later first ladies, Julia Dent Grant and Mamie Doud Eisenhower, were also military wives whose tenure as first lady was also influenced by their past experiences as military wives. This course explores their biographies and how they enacted the role of first lady.
