Pat Nixon, was entrapped in an elevator with her, a bottle of Cutty Sark and a Twister game at the 1968 Republican Convention. A real funny lady, she didn't even push the buzzer thing until our booze ran out.

Jacqueline Kennedy, mostly for suffering through her husband's personal BS with an enormous amount of grace.

Jackie Kennedy is the one I think people will remember the most.

She is iconic.

Valerie Jarrett, because she directed policy for 8 years.


Monica Lewinsky because she substituted for HRC and did a great job.

there were many great first ladies in the 20th century, so its hard to pick just one as the best, as they all had their good and bad points. the worst imo was hillary though.

Ya, she was socialist and I am not. But she stood up and took over for him when needed, instead of handing it off to the vice President.

Eleanor Roosevelt kind of reminded me of Nikita Khruschev in looks, demeanor, and actions.
Jackie must have been a saint to put up with JFK's philandering. She was classy too.
