Paul Sterling
all good except the last one
Edwin Berard
The last one is powerful due to corruption and criminal activity not even close to the others.
Myrna O'Neil
Eleanor Roosevelt was the most powerful. Jackie Kennedy was the most popular.
Theda Gallegos
Agree with Paul!
Robert Swanson
Hillary Clinton: Lied under oath, obstructor of justice, money launderer, let people in Benghazi die, etc. etc.

Shillery; prominent, as in; sticking out easily seen or noticed! Gender doesn't make anyone important, especially Killery! If this Quiz factoid stated, criminal behavior, she would fit that profile, for sure!
Tim Faucheux
The last one, Hitlery, was by far the most criminal of all first ladies.
Susan Renner
You could have skipped Hillery as her focus was on killing babies not women's rights!
Joyce Davidson
I disagree with these, what about Nancy Reagan and Laura Bush, both just as fashionalble as Jackie O and Nancy was a close a confidante to Reagan. How about Barbara Bush?? Why only Democrat First Ladies? In history, the only three I agree with is Dolly Madison, Eleanor Roosevelt, and Jackie Kennedy.
Mary Bawden McNeely Musgrave
Agreed!

Judy 'Cross' Long, Melania was a nude model.
Lupe Hernandez
Viola Perry, Robert Swanson had a husband?

Vimala Padmaraj, Shows how much you know, Meghan Markle was not a first lady.

Catherine Jaeger, 57 close friend of Hillary committed suicide. She is very powerful lady.
Boyd Howard
The last one needs to be in jail. Not a good influence on anyone. Very corrupt!!!
Edward Black
The last one is a crook.
You missed Edith Wilson, who ran the executive branch after her husband, Woodrow Wilson, had a stroke. She should be at the top of the list.
Judy 'Cross' Long
All were good and influential except Hillary. She was/is corrupt.
Tim Komjati
Hillary, fifth most powerful first lady… Right, Got It….🙄😏
Raymond Galea
All great except for the last one
Gwen Kaminski Lawyer
Not the last one for sure!
Sean Philips
Edwin Berard, prove it
tracy ketchum
The last one needs to be in prison along with half of Washington!
Vimala Padmaraj
Paul Sterling, I FULLY AGREE WITH YOU PAUL. HILARY CLINTON HAS NO PLACE WITH GREAT FIRST LADIES. PUT HER AMONG MEGAN MARKLE TYPES.
Lorna Lake

What about Edith Wilson? After W. Wilson had his stroke she WAS the (defacto) president with things going through her while her husband basically was wasting and hidden away.
