Presidents and their Wives

By Laura Knoy on Tuesday, February 14, 2006.

Long before they tried to win the nation’s highest office, Presidents from Washington to Bush, were trying to win the hearts of their future wives. Sometimes these women were unofficial chief political advisors, other championed causes, while some were just loving spouses. For Valentines day, we’ll look at the special relationship of Presidents and their wives and try to separate passion from politics.

Laura's guest is Gerard Gawalt, Curator of the papers of presidential families in the Manuscript Division of the Library of Congress and author of My Dear President: Letters between Presidents and Their Wives.
