Nicole Bacharan and Dominique Simonnet were particularly interested in First Lady who had a political role, distinguishing the "rebels", such as the feminist and supporter of civil rights activists Eleanor Roosevelt, and those who built a real duet with their husband, like Nancy Reagan, the latter having also confided that the First Lady is the only personality who can frankly advise the president without fear of reprisals.If the First Lady is most commonly the wife of the President, her role is sometimes occupied by a woman having another family tie with him (daughter, daughter-in-law, niece, sister, cousin or aunt): this was the case for about two dozen women (for example Harriet Lane, niece of James Buchanan in the mid-19th century), ...
