I am completely into the John Adams HBO mini-series, especially Abigail Adams as portrayed by Laura Linney. Sure, I knew she was the wife of one President and the mother to another. But I had no idea she was such a strong and inspirational force. Her marriage was a true partnership, as well as a love story. I'm eager to learn more about her, but I already have a book about another First Lady, the much-maligned Mary Lincoln, on my on-deck circle.

So many great broads, so many books to read, so little time

I think every first lady probably has an extraordinary story to tell. I recently saw a documentary on Eleanor Roosevelt and would not mind learning more about her. Happy reading.

There are a couple of good books about Abagail. Her letter-writing was usually quite witty.
