Watch the full program Sunday, May 30 at 8pm ET/5pm PT on C-SPAN 3!
Over the next several weeks, American History TV features discussions on first ladies from a symposium co-hosted by the White House Historical Association and American University's First Ladies Initiative. This first conversation focuses on changing ideas about gender, and how first ladies exercised power even before women had the vote. We hear, in particular, about Martha Washington's management of her slaves, Abigail Adams' political interests, and the messages that first lady portraits conveyed long before photographs and television. The program begins with introductory remarks, including an appearance by first lady Jill Biden.
