The First Lady of Literacy
Laura Bush, the former First Lady of the United States from 2001 to 2009, is widely recognized for her poise, advocacy for education, and work in global women's health. Married to President George W. Bush, she brought a background in education and librarianship to the White House, which deeply influenced her initiatives. As First Lady, she championed literacy, launching programs such as “Ready to Read, Ready to Learn” to promote early childhood development and education reform. Laura Bush also played a significant role in supporting teachers and fostering a love of books among American children. Her calm demeanor and dedication to family values earned her widespread respect during her tenure. Beyond her domestic efforts, Laura Bush was also a strong voice on the international stage, particularly in advancing women's rights in Afghanistan and Africa. She used her platform to speak out against the oppression of women and to promote access to healthcare and education across developing nations. Her memoir, *Spoken from the Heart*, offers a candid look at her life in the White House and the personal convictions that guided her public role. Even after her time as First Lady, Laura Bush continues her philanthropic work through the George W. Bush Institute, where she remains committed to initiatives in human freedom, global health, and women's empowerment. \#LauraBush #FirstLady #EducationAdvocate #WomenEmpowerment #MomentsOfLife #MoofLife\_Moment #MoofLife
