First Mothers

Based on the book by Time magazine reporter Bonnie Angelo.

Has the mother-son relationship affected US policy?

Interviews with multiple Presidents.

They are the mothers of the most powerful men in America. They are the Presidential Moms. More than the women that kiss skinned knees or bake cookies, they have a direct line to the White House. Take a look at the lives of ten mothers of world leaders.

Hear interviews with Presidents, historians, and scholars on the influence that these women wield. Meet aristocrat Sara Delano Roosevelt, pacifist Ida Eisenhower, family matriarch Rose Kennedy, stoic Hannah Milhous Nixon, courageous Dorothy Ford, Peace Corps mother Lillian Carter, actress Nelle Reagan, champion athlete Dorothy Bush, hard-living Virginia Clinton, and Barbara Bush, former First Lady and later First Mother.

Based on the book by Time magazine reporter Bonnie Angelo, this program explores the effect the mother-son relationship may have had on US politics and Presidential decisions.
