This very good condition copy of “Moms in Chief” offers a fascinating exploration of the rhetoric and public personas crafted by spouses of Republican presidential nominees from 1992 to 2016. Author Tammy R. Vigil, a professor of communication studies, delves into the enduring concept of “Republican Motherhood” – the idea that women’s primary role is to nurture virtuous citizens for the nation. Through meticulous analysis of speeches, interviews, and media coverage, Vigil examines how these women navigated the complex expectations of modern womanhood while upholding traditional values. From Barbara Bush’s emphasis on family literacy to Ann Romney’s defense of stay-at-home mothers, this book provides invaluable insights into the evolving dynamics of gender, politics, and the American presidency. A must-have for scholars of rhetoric, gender studies, and political communication.
