First Lady: My Thirty Days Upstairs in the White House

by Patrick Dennis

Patrick Dennis is also the author of Auntie Mame, (which was one of the most best-selling books of the 20th century). This fictional biography details the brief, but memorable, tenure of Martha Dinwiddie Butterfield as First Lady. As well as being a spoof, it is also a biting social and political satire that skewers society and the political climate of the early 20th century.
