A First Lady always moves into the White House together with the new President. Some of these women were more prominent than others during their husbands' time in office. And some of them will probably remain unforgotten forever.
Jackie Kennedy: Her husband was shot dead
Jackie Kennedy led an often tragic life - even if she was always glamorous and smiling on the outside. People loved her and her fashionable style made her an icon for many. But behind the façade, Jackie had to put up with a lot.
Her husband John. F. Kennedy, the former US President, had numerous extramarital affairs. As if that were not enough, Jackie had to cope with two miscarriages and lost a son just two days after his birth. On November 22, 1963, Jackie's life changed again abruptly when her husband was killed in an assassination attempt in Dallas.
Her second marriage was also short-lived. She married Aristotle Onassis, who died just seven years after the wedding. Jackie then withdrew from the public eye as far as possible. In 1994, it became known that the former First Lady was suffering from lymphatic cancer, to which she succumbed a few months later.
Michelle Obama won hearts just like her husband and former US President Barack Obama. The beautiful Michelle supported her husband wherever she could and also helped Barack in political matters.
Even after the end of Barack's presidency, Michelle continues to pursue her goals. She is still trying to bring more health and fitness to American society.
