Real Talk with Jacob Green: Chapter Four of Dr. Watson's The Presidents' Wives

Tonight, this episode of Real Talk (First Ladies edition) starts off with the fourth chapter of Dr. Robert Watson, author of The Presidents' Wives: The Office of the First Lady in US Politics (2014). We will explore the following question: Which expectations about first ladies' staff and organization of the East Wing office held true in the case of Michelle Obama? This may be an unusual example of a first lady besides Nancy Reagan, but topics discussed would be the evolution of institutional roles and duties, the First Lady’s roles and duties, the First Lady as woman of influence, and office and staff. Tune in as Jacob delves into this portion of this series of Real Talk in-depth to give the conversation about the important topic of First Lady more substance. We apologize for schedule delays because of life's priorities (e.g., education and work). Other topics are to be announced.
