Many First Ladies have been remembered because of the ways they have influenced their husbands. Other First Ladies have made the history books on their own.At least two First Ladies, Bess Truman and Lady Bird Johnson, made it their business to send signals during their husbands' speeches. When Lady Bird Johnson thought her husband was talking too long, she wrote a note and sent it up to the platform. It read, “It's time to stop ! ” And he did. Once Bess Truman didn't like what her husband was saying on television, so she phoned him and said, “If you can't talk more politely than that in public, you come right home. ”It was First Lady Helen Taft's idea to plant the famous cherry trees in Washington, D．C．.

Earlier, during World War I, Mrs. Wilson had sheep brought onto the White House lawn to eat the grass. The sheep not only kept the lawn cut but provided wool for an auction(拍卖) held by the First Lady. Almost$ 100,000 was raised for the Red Cross.One of the most famous First Ladies was Eleanor Roosevelt, the wife of President Franklin D．Roosevelt.
