The group that presented on women and politics did an awesome job. I thought it was great how Dr. Plane was able to speak to the class. He really hit the main points the group ended up covering. I know a lot of the class was hoping that it was more directed towards the women in elected positions but I enjoyed learning about the First Ladies over the past decades; maybe it's because I've always enjoyed history.
The activities and internet searches we did during class were interesting to me. It amazes me how heavily criticized the First Ladies are through the public. It has a lot to do with political parties and how much "scandal" goes on during the presidency. There are definitely a certain set of standards that come along with being the First Lady, whether Republican or Democrat. Times are changing and so are the fashions and roles that the First Ladies play. For example Michelle Obama has taken control of the health eating in schools for children and being an advocate for change within schools. Unlike some First Ladies of the past she has really stepped-up and made this her own.
