Dutiful Service: The Life of Mrs. Mamie Eisenhower

Description

Throughout her time in the White House Mamie Eisenhower was one of America's most beloved First Ladies. The last First Lady to be born in the nineteenth century, Mamie Eisenhower in many ways personified traditional views of the proper role of women in the first half of the twentieth century. She supported her husband and his career wholeheartedly and did all she could to help him achieve his goals. This volume chronicles her life from her comfortable and affluent childhood through a nomadic life as an 'Army wife' to the halls of power and influence in the White House.
