Laura Bush
During her term as the First Lady, Laura Bush, the wife of George W. Bush, pushed reading programs (much like her mother-in-law) and backed the well-being of women around the world. She wasn’t as involved as some of her predecessors regarding political roles.
She has an academic background, having earned a Master’s degree in library sciences in 1973 and later worked as a librarian in Austin. Laura traveled to Europe on her own as a First Lady and spoke before the Senate on education.
She also arranged a national book fair with American writers and received accolades for her caring support of 9/11 survivors. In 2001, she made history as the first presidential spouse to deliver the White House weekly radio address, speaking about the Taliban’s abuse of Afghan women.
