|blurb='''[[List of memoirs by first ladies of the United States|Thirteen first ladies of the United States have written a total of twenty-two memoirs]]'''. The [[First Lady of the United States|first lady]] is the hostess of the [[White House]], and the position is traditionally filled by the wife of the [[president of the United States]], with some historical exceptions. Every memoir by a first lady published in the 20th and 21st centuries has been a bestseller, at times outselling those of their presidential husbands. In the early 1800s, [[Abigail Adams]] had her correspondence published as ''[[Letters of Mrs. Adams, the Wife of John Adams]]'', and [[Louisa Adams]] "made several attempts at an autobiography", although she never sought to publish them. [[Julia Grant]] was the first to write and attempt to publish her memoirs, writing ''[[The Personal Memoirs of Julia Dent Grant]]'' in the 1890s after the death of her husband, [[Ulysses S. Grant]], but she never found a suitable publisher for them before her death in 1902. [[Helen Herron Taft|Helen Taft]] was the first to have memoirs ''(title page pictured)'' published during her lifetime, in 1914. Memoirs by presidential spouses were uncommon until the 1970s; most first ladies have written and published at least one memoir about their life since [[Betty Ford]]'s publication of her first memoir in the late 1970s.
