About this listen

Discover the remarkable life of Lady Bird Johnson...
History remembers her as the gracious wife standing beside Lyndon B. Johnson, but Lady Bird Johnson was much more than just the period of time that she spent at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in the White House. Born in the piney woods of East Texas to a wealthy but troubled family, Lady Bird overcame tragedy to become one of the most accomplished women of her generation. By age 22, she had earned two college degrees and harbored dreams of becoming a globe-trotting journalist. Then a tall, handsome fellow Texan named Lyndon B. Johnson walked into her life, proposing marriage on their very first date.

What followed was one of the most incredible political partnerships in American history—and LBJ was the first to admit that she was the better half of this duo. While Lyndon wielded power on Capitol Hill, Lady Bird built a media empire, bankrolled campaigns, and became the first president’s wife to advocate actively for legislation. Her groundbreaking approach transformed the role of first lady from ceremonial hostess to influential political force, creating the template that modern first ladies still follow today. This is the life of Lady Bird Johnson in full.

Discover a plethora of topics such as

  • Early Life and Loss
  • When Lady Met Lyndon
  • Campaign Trails and Heart Attacks
