 \n\n\n\n\n“It is impossible to look at the arc of American history—or 
 the impact of a president—without looking at the first ladies.”\n— A
 nita McBride\, co-author of Remember the First Ladies: The Legacies of Am
 erica’s History-Making Women\n(Selected as a Best Book of 2024 by Smiths
 onian Scholars)\n\nIn honor of America’s 250th anniversary\, the Truman 
 Library Institute’s annual Women Rising event invites you to explore th
 e lives\, influence and legacies of America’s First Ladies.\n\nDavid Von
  Drehle\, New York Times bestselling author and former Washington Post co
 lumnist\, shares the stage with internationally recognized author and form
 er White House staffer Anita McBride. Together\, they will explore her gro
 undbreaking research for Remember the First Ladies\, in which McBride high
 lights the women who broke barriers and profoundly shaped our presidents\,
  our country and the world. From civil rights to politics\, public policy 
 and global diplomacy\, First Ladies have transformed the “right-hand” 
 role into one of lasting influence—both in public and behind the scenes.
 \n\nAs chief of staff to Laura Bush\, McBride had an insider’s view of t
 he First Lady’s evolving role. A knowledgeable and humorous storyteller\
 , she will share insights into how First Ladies throughout history advance
 d the position of women and left their mark on the nation. She’ll also p
 rovide fascinating commentary on the under- and over-appreciated residents
  of the White House\, drawing on her unique experience and extensive resea
 rch.\nRainy Day Books will have copies of Remember the First Ladies for sa
 le at the program\, and McBride will be available for signing.\nTo registe
