Which first lady is professionally most accomplished

[Anonymous]

HRC was a partner at a law firm making significantly more $$ than Bill before they left for the White House. She was the first female partner at said law firm.

Love her or hate her, she's ambitious as hell.

I think she is the obvious candidate but it comes with an asterisk that an ambitious woman had a lot more paths to be able to make that ambition a reality in the 80s/90s than basically any other time in history.

That's who I was going to say.

I think context matters. What Eleanor Roosevelt did was incredible, at a time when most women, and certainly all prior first ladies, weren't doing much of anything.

That's not to discount Clinton at all. I'm not a fan (although I voted for her in 2016), but I think she has accomplished a lot, even considering context. I guess they're both trailblazers.

I mean, yes, but her accomplishments are mostly linked to her celebrity from having been first lady.

Maybe learn about what she did before she became First Lady.

Definitely true, but DCUM posters are damp over Yale Law School + the marrying well + her constant self promotion.

Jackie O was definitely the most accomplished. Well bred, nothing to prove, married well twice, impeccable taste in clothing and interior design, attentive mother, supportive wife.

I like Jackie O but she was not a more accomplished woman than Eleanor Roosevelt, HRC, or IMO, Abigail Adams/Dolly Madison/others who were invested in the political process.

Absolutely not. Jackie O married well. Did not accomplish anything.

As first lady, which was her profession at the time, she was sublime. Was she a shrill and tedious self-promoter before and after? No.

It is not a profession. Getting a role because of you husband is not a profession.

But would Hilary Clinton been as successful had her husband not been president first? No way.

So what? Compare that to Melania who does nothing now. Or Laura Bush. Who is lovely and was a great First Lady. But has no really accomplished much in the post-presidential years.

There is no contest. HRC.
