Hillary Rodham Clinton: The Ubiquitious First Lady
These two 10-page essays examine First Ladies Nancy Reagan and Hillary Rodham Clinton. The author notes that Mrs. Clinton not only had the same personal and private influence on her husband as Nancy Reagan had on Ronald Reagan, she had political ambitions and leadership skills far beyond Mrs. Reagan, who was satisfied to wield power behind the scenes. Nancy Reagan has been accurately described as the queen behind the throne, while Hillary Rodham Clinton is best understood as the queen on the throne.
