Reverse

As First Lady, Bess Truman maintained a low public profile, preferring to focus on her family while quietly supporting her husband, President Harry S. Truman. Though not one for the political spotlight, she was an astute and trusted advisor, playing a crucial role in the presidents personal and political life.
