Lucy Webb Hayes
from FLOTUS 4eva Hosted by flotus4eva
Lucy! Our first college educated First Lady. A total powerhouse, maybe (definitely) even more so than her husband. We talk about the fine line between the suffragette and the temperance movement. Elyse recounts a harrowing story reminding us of the importance of indoor plumbing- which we just got in the White House- Thanks Lucy. We also talk about how exciting it is to stay up all night with your girlfriends talking on the first ever telephone with Alexander Graham Bell, who Claire calls Thomas Edison. Classic. (Who cares about the men though??) Lucy made her mark and we are so grateful for it.
