Let's dive into our First Ladies' lives with a short biography of each. We will discuss how active - or not - the ladies were in Washington politics, from Mrs. Wilson, Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt and Mrs. Reagan. We won't leave out those who chose to stay home either, like Mrs. Washington, Mrs. Truman and others!
