Abstract

In the modern world, the figure of the first lady is significant for many spheres of public life. Although she is not a political figure in the traditional sense, there are many cases in which the president's wife has influenced decision-making in both domestic and foreign policy. In addition, the first lady has a significant impact on shaping the image of the president and, to a certain extent, acts as the “face” of the state on the international arena. Within the country, the president's wife is considered to be an example for a female audience embodying the values and moral foundations of American society.
