This course consists of a good look at some of the most memorable and influential women in United States history. While not all first ladies lived in the White House, many who did were delightful, intelligent women who helped their husbands as advisors and confidantes. Others were gracious hostesses, keen observers, or promoters of their own special projects.
We will use a text which will be augmented with biographical reports from each class member. (The Dartmouth libraries have some excellent resource materials available to ILEAD members.)
PAT MORRISON has a B.S. in chemistry from Simmons College and has done graduate work in psychology at Spalding College. She has been a long time member of the League of Women Voters in four states, which nurtured her interest in public policy and public people. She has enjoyed taking ILEAD courses, especially those on world affairs. Not surprisingly, Pat and her husband have visited several Presidential libraries on trips across the country. They have four grown children and nine grandchildren.
