From the author of our popular Secret Lives of the U.S. Presidents comes another rambunctious look at White House history-and this time, women are in the spotlight. Secret Lives of the First Ladies features outrageous and uncensored profiles of all the presidents’ wives.

You’ll discover that Dolley Madison loved to chew tobacco, Mary Todd Lincoln was committed to an asylum, and Mamie Eisenhower never missed an episode of As the World Turns. You’ll also learn why Hillary Clinton went to work for Wal-Mart (long before she started campaigning for a higher minimum wage).

Complete with biographies of every first lady, Secret Lives of the First Ladies tackles tough questions that other history books are afraid to ask: How many of these women owned slaves? Which ones were cheating on their husbands? And why did Eleanor Roosevelt serve hot dogs to the King and Queen of England? American history was never this much fun!

CORMAC O’BRIEN is the author of Secret Lives of the U.S. Presidents.
