First ladies Barbara and Laura Bush talked about their unique family and historical relationships, the stereotypes perpetuated about the president’s spouse, how they handled political criticism, their experiences as wartime first ladies, and their advice to their successors. They were interviewed by Richard Norton Smith and also responded to questions from members of the audience. Former President George H.W. Bush attended.

“Reflections of First Ladies Mrs. Barbara Bush and Mrs. Laura Bush” was a panel at the conference “America’s First Ladies: An Enduring Legacy.” Held at the George Bush Presidential Library Center in College Station, it was the first of three conferences focusing on first ladies organized by Anita McBride to be held at the Texas presidential libraries. It was presented in partnership with American University, Texas A&M University, the White House Historical Association, George Bush Presidential Library and Museum, and the George Bush Presidential Library Foundation. close
