In France, a first lady has no status, and therefore she isn't supposed to do anything else.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The position of vice president does not exist in France; neither does a role comparable that of the first lady of the United States.
There is no job description for the first lady and she's only there because her husband got elected president.
I see the first lady as another means to keep a president from becoming isolated.
Presidents often disappoint, but first ladies rarely do.
The First Lady is an unpaid public servant elected by one person - her husband.
The first lady is, and always has been, an unpaid public servant elected by one person, her husband.
Being first lady is the hardest unpaid job in the world.
In France, a woman may forget that she is neither young nor handsome; for the absence of these claims to attention does not expose her to be neglected by the male sex.
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 must be a leader. She must not be a follower.
