Filmore Library GalleryLadies of the Hour: White House HostessesFirst Ladies receive their title because they are married to their spouse, the president. Throughout history, many female relatives of presidents have also fulfilled the entertainment responsibilities at the White House. They are considered White House hostesses, and they played the role of helpmates for presidents who were widowed, unmarried, or whose wives could not or did not wish to perform White House social duties. The exhibit explores the women who selflessly fulfilled a crucial role only to become a footnote of a presidential administration’s history.
