The role of First Lady is loosely defined, extremely scrutinized, and severely underpaidwe're talking a salary of $0 for four to eight years of nonstop public engagements, advocacy work, and event planning and hosting duties. Despite all this, presidential spouses throughout history have made their role incredibly impactful. To name a few: Hillary Clinton was appointed by her husband to head the White House Task Force on National Health Care Reform; Laura Bush testified in Congress to support her childhood literacy initiatives and spoke out against the oppression of women in Afghanistan; and Michelle Obama established initiatives to end childhood obesity, improve educational opportunities for women, and support military families.
If Joe Biden is declared the winner of the 2020 presidential election, Dr. Jill Biden will undoubtedly go even further in revolutionizing the job of First Lady, most prominently by continuing to work outside the White House as a full-time educator. Here's everything you need to know about her, from how she met the likely next president of the United States to what the East Wing could look like under a First Lady Jill Biden.
First things first: Biden was born Jill Tracy Jacobs in New Jersey in 1951 and spent most of her childhood in the suburbs of Philadelphia. The oldest of five girls, she developed a reputation as a bit of a prankster, and has also spoken often about her longtime passion for running.
Though she initially enrolled at Brandywine Junior College to study fashion merchandising, she transferred after one semester to the University of Delaware to major in English. She has since spent decades as an English and reading teacher in public high schools and community colleges, as well as a stint teaching history to teenagers at a psychiatric hospital. Along the way, she's earned two master's degrees in reading and English, and, in 2007, a doctorate in educational leadership.
