I've been searching high and low for anything on the First Lady I can find, and I found this at Barnes and Noble this evening... as if I don't buy enough from them. I love photo essays and this one is a real treasure.
Also, Barnes and Noble has a lot of great books about the First Lady. As a teacher, I plan to incorporate more on the First Ladies in my social studies curricula. I feel like motivating and powerful women are not studied enough in schools. Even if we just learn a bit of biography about the First Ladies, it will be something interesting for the kids.
So, there's a gift idea for you. You can never go wrong with photo essays. Here are a few more of my faves:
Hmm, a stylish First Lady, a book about pins and jewels, the new secrets of great style... I sense a theme here...
Stylishly yours,

Madeleine Albright is one of my program's most famous alumnae. (Her father actually founded my school within a school.) Although I certainly don't agree with all of her positions, I do admire her! Love the outfit on the cover of the InStyle book, too (although since I'm one of few women whose figure is NOT flattered by a pencil skirt I would personally have to substitute something with an A-line or bubble silhouette) ... Hehe -- I think I might be adding that one to my Christmas wishlist!
