  "First WOmen" by Carolynr (see profile) 08/29/16

The first lady is one of the most underestimated and challenging positions in the world. The author discusses the first ladies rivalries and friendships and explores their political causes and their public/private relationships with their husbands. Covers Jackie Kennedy through Michelle Obama.
It does do a lot of bouncing back in forth in time...she tells their stories by "topic" vs time line which does compare all of them in similar situations. Interesting insight in how they support each other regardless of political affiliation and how some get along better than others.
Interesting read.

 
  " First Women: The Grace and Power of America's Modern First Ladies" by dkrach (see profile) 03/30/17

Book was informative, but the layout was confusing. We felt that one chapter on each of the First Ladies would have been easier to understand. Too much repetition. Also some bias toward certain First Ladies and against others. An informative book should be objective.
