Busy Lady Bird Johnson Emerges as Active First Lady
In six months Lady Bird Johnson has become a busy, engaging First Lady, joining her husband in campaigns and White House duties. Adlai Stevenson calls her unashamedly devoted to the people as she gains confidence, plans more speeches, and campaigns softly for equality and anti poverty causes. Her efforts mirror Eleanor Roosevelt’s public service, though she prefers forging her own path with tours and informal luncheons highlighting women’s work.
