Describe in one (1) word:

Please note: in One Word’s presentation of FLOTUSes will include a variety of people who have held the position – or perhaps could have in a different timeline – or who are mothers of Presidential offspring who did not make it to the White House. We will NOT include the following:

Jane Wyman (ex wife of Ronald Reagan and mother of Michael and Maureen Reagan)

Ivana Trump (ex wife of Donald Trump and mother of Donald Jr., Ivanka and Eric Trump)

Marla Maples (ex wife of Donald Trump and mother of Tiffany Trump)

This slot will have current and historical figures with a presumably fixed and established role on the culture.

Next up: U.S. Presidents.
