Being A Lady Does Not Require Silence.

A Housewife Deserves To Be Honored As Much As A Woman Who Earns Her Living In The Marketplace. I Consider Bringing Up Children A Responsible Job. In Fact, Being A Good Housewife Seems To Me A Much Tougher Job Than Going To The Office And Getting Paid For It.

But My Activities Have Been Pretty Much Focused In The Last Almost 30 Years On The Recovery, Of My Own Recovery, The Understanding For My Family Of My Recovery.

When Other Women Have This Same Operation, It Doesn't Make Any Headlines. But The Fact That I Was The Wife Of The President Put It In Headlines And Brought Before The Public This Particular Experience I Was Going Through. It Made A Lot Of Women Realize That It Could Happen To Them. I'm Sure I've Saved At Least One Person Maybe More.

I Feel It's Important To Be Active. People Who Retire, Sit By Their Swimming Pool And Golf Course And Plan To Relax Have A Very Empty Life.

I Have An Independent Streak. You Know, It's Kind Of Hard To Tell A Independent Woman What To Do.
