About This Item
Boston, MA: Houghton Mifflin Company, 1984. First Printing [Stated]. Hardcover. Good/fair. xii, [2], 370 pages. Illustrations. Index. Slight foxing to fore-edge. DJ edges worn and small tear. Signed by the author. The former first lady's memoir covers her small-town childhood, her life as a wife and mother, her role in the family business, her public and political efforts, and her years near the center of power. It is "a readable, lively and revealing account of the Carters and their remarkable journey from rural Georgia to the White House in a span of ten years" (The New York Times). Eleanor Rosalynn Carter (née Smith; born August 18, 1927) is an American writer and activist who served as First Lady of the United States from 1977 to 1981 as the wife of President Jimmy Carter. For decades, she has been a leading advocate for numerous causes, including mental health. Carter was politically active during her White House years, sitting in on Cabinet meetings. She was her husband's closest adviser. She also served as an envoy abroad, particularly in Latin America. Like her husband, Rosalynn Carter is considered a key figure in the Habitat for Humanity charity. After Bess Truman, Carter is the second-longest lived First Lady of the White House. First Lady from Plains was widely praised as giving more insight into her husband's administration than most of the books by his top advisers.
