Mamie Eisenhower

Mamie Eisenhower was one of the most strong-minded first ladies. She lived in the White House from 1953 to 1961, while Dwight D. Eisenhower was president.

She was extremely beloved because the women of the era really related to her.

Tragedy struck her life very early on, when their first son, Doud Dwight, died of scarlet fever at only three years old.

Their second son, John Sheldon Doud, was born in 1922.

When her husband had to fulfill his military assignments during World War II, Mamie made sure she writes him every day.

His letters to her were later added in a book, “Letters to Mamie” (1978).

    Its interesting to note, all of these ladies were married to Democrats… how about Melania Trump, who was an advocate for cyberbulling?
    Or Barbara Bush, who pushed for literacy, help for the homeless, AIDS victims, the elderly?
    Nancy Reagan- advocate for the “Just Say No” initiative….

  2. Historically for all she did and for the support, guidance, and advice she gave her husband. Along with all her duties, responsibilities and all of this during what is considered the most traumatic time for this country and longest time of doing it as first lady and continuing all the civic duties, functions and responsibilities
    in serving the American people after his death. Eleanor Roosevelt is by far the most important and impactful if not the greatest first lady of all time and probably forever.

  3. The very best and classiest First Lady is hands down, Melania Trump and 2nd would be Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. After them, the rest are all about the same.

  4. You completely left out Melania Trump, who has been the classiest First Lady – perhaps ever. She carries herself so well, always looks impeccable in whatever she wears, has classy taste not only in her attire, but in the ways she decorated the White House & hosted the many White House functions. Michelle Obama couldn’t touch her with a 10 ft pole! Melania is probably the only First Lady who spoke fluently so many other languages & was completely comfortable in other nations as well as America. Shame on you for overlooking this beautiful lady!

  5. You left out the best first Lady Mrs Trump. You must be a far left anti Milania Trump. She was as polite,kind,and beautiful first Lady.

    Eleanor Roosevelt, Michelle Obama, Jackie Kennedy, in that order, and all three were examples of what a 1st lady should be.

  7. Where is Melania Trump in this list? I am sure most Conservative women loved her as I did. She brought classy back reminded me Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis.

  8. Michell Obamba, really???? She looked like she always had on dresses from Walmart, she’s racist and a super bitch. I see Melania Trump was not there. SHE was the BEST, so was he.
