The First Lady is an unpaid public servant elected by one person - her husband.
There is no job description for the first lady and she's only there because her husband got elected president.
Being first lady is the hardest unpaid job in the world.
The first lady must be a leader. She must not be a follower.
The First Lady role is really difficult. It has no job description... You have to create it for yourself.
Today is indeed an historic occasion when as a first chair-in-office woman I hand over to another woman chair in office, your Prime Minister, Julia Gillard, in the presence of a woman head of the Commonwealth, Her Royal Highness, Her Majesty the Queen of England.
The First Lady has a lot of power. I hope Hillary Clinton realizes that.
I see the first lady as another means to keep a president from becoming isolated.
Any first lady can do whatever they want to do. In this country, people expect them to work on whatever they want or to have a career of their own.
The First Lady is such a fascinating office to hold. You're not elected, but it's very much official. You can see the latitude of power of that office.
