First Lady of the United States (FLOTUS)[1] is the title held by the wife of the President of the United States, concurrent with the president's term of office. Although the first lady’s role has never been codified or officially defined, she figures prominently in the political and social life of the nation.[2]
While the title was not in general use until much later, Martha Washington, the wife of George Washington, the first U.S. President (1789–1797), is considered to be the inaugural First Lady of the United States. During her lifetime she was often referred to as "Lady Washington".[3]
Since the 1790s the role of first lady has changed considerably. It has come to include involvement in political campaigns, management of the White House, championship of social causes, and representation of the president at official and ceremonial occasions. Because first ladies now typically publish their memoirs, which are viewed as potential sources of additional information about their husbands’ administrations, and because the public is interested in these increasingly independent women in their own right, first ladies frequently remain a focus of attention long after their husbands’ terms of office have ended.[2] Additionally, over the years individual first ladies have held influence in a range of sectors, from fashion to public opinion on policy. Historically, should a president be unmarried, or a widower, the president usually asks a relative or friend to act as White House hostess.
The current First Lady is Michelle Obama, who is also the first black First Lady. At present, there are four living former first ladies:Rosalynn Carter, wife of Jimmy CarterBarbara Bush, wife of George H. W. BushHillary Clinton, wife of Bill Clinton; and Laura Bush, wife of George W. BushMelania Trump will become the next First Lady (and second foreign born person, after Louisa Adams) to take on this role, as well as the only First Lady to date not to have been born a citizen of the United States, when Donald Trump takes officeon January 20, 2017.
