Grace Coolidge (1879–1957) was the first lady of the United States from 1923 to 1929 as the wife of President Calvin Coolidge. Born and raised in Burlington, Vermont, she attended the University of Vermont, then moved to Northampton, Massachusetts, to teach at Clarke School for the Deaf. She married Calvin in 1905 and Calvin's career progressed in state politics. They moved to Washington, D.C. in 1921 after Calvin's election as vice president, and into the White House after the death of Warren G. Harding in 1923. Coolidge was active as first lady, hosting thousands of guests each year, making regular public appearances in the President's stead. She was a highly popular first lady; her fashion choices were influential among American women. The Coolidges returned to Northampton in 1929, and she began traveling following her husband's death in 1933. Coolidge was an advocate of American involvement in World War II. She was involved in schools and programs for the deaf until her death. ( Full article... )
