In fact, they have eperienced many triumphs, including legal and social victories as a direct result of their hard work and efforts. Yet, history still files many of their achievements and contributions in the back of storage facilities and bottoms of closets. I wanted tonlift the dust cloths and empty out the historical closets. These First Ladies were and continue to bbe, an example of how each of us--man, woman, and child--can be unusual for our time and make the world around us a better place."
