FEISTY FIRST LADIES is Available in Audiobook

Move over Michelle Obama-Mary Todd Lincoln's back. No modern-day fashionista has got anything on Mary Lincoln, who was quite a clothes horse herself, and perhaps the first shopaholic in the White House. As Autumn Stephens says, "Today, maniacal Mary Lincoln would be the self-dramatizing star of some Beltway twelve-step program, or popping Prozac like miniature petit fours, or holding an Oprah audience in thrall with tales of how an ungrateful nation did her wrong."

Other fun quotes from White House ladies:
"You really only have two choices; you can like what you do OR you can dislike it. I choose to like it, and what fun I've had."
-Barbara Bush

"In the Bible it says they asked Jesus how many times you should forgive, and he said seventy times seven. Well, I want you all to know that I'm keeping a chart."
-Hilary Clinton

"You are a good man, but you are still a man."
-Michelle Obama (to her husband)

Susie Bright's blog, The Bright List, recently reviewed the audiobook of Feisty First Ladies. She said about it, "There is so much entertaining trivia, and inspiring activism in the history of First Ladies, that it's practically your patriotic duty to learn more."

Feisty First Ladies
And Other Unforgettable White House Women
By Autumn Stephens
Part irreverant portrait gallery, part exuberant exposé, Feisty First Ladies and Other Unforgettable White House Women introduces a remarkable array of wild women-from first First Lady Martha Washington to hot hostess Dolley Madison and Harvard-educated Michelle Obama. Author Autumn Stephens also dishes on daughters like Reagan rebel Patti Davis, Tricia Nixon, Susan Ford, and Mary Cheney, who were the tabloid fodder of their day.

Laugh out loud funny, and filled with amazing stranger-than-fiction facts from our American history, Feisty First Ladies and Other Unforgettable White House Women is a journey into the realm of the eclectic sisterhood whose outrageous words and deeds have rocked the fusty old foundations of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, and the nation!
