Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: This paper is an attempt to think systematically about the American First Ladyship, the political roles that its occupants may attempt to play, and the kinds of behaviors that First Ladies should model if they are to obtain, and keep, support for such political roles from the various power-sharing elites with whom the First Lady would like to have influence. As I have argued elsewhere (Wekkin 2000), certain roles and behaviors adopted by First Ladies are more likely to attract elite and/or popular supports, whereas others are more likely to founder against one or more of the audience constraints that are part of the political ecology within which any first lady operates. Obtaining, and keeping, such supports from the various power-sharing elites with whom the First Lady must have influence is the goal for which the rules of the game identified below are formulated.
