As her father’s «special adviser

Ivanka Trump isn’t the first presidential daughter to wield influence and power

WASHINGTON Ivanka Trump is the first First Daughter in American history to score a West Wing buy canada goose jacket office and hire a chief of staff. As her father’s «special adviser,» her https://www.fabulalitera.de portfolio encompasses both official canada goose outlet outreach to Europe and rolling her eyes at commander in chief dad jokes. In Berlin Tuesday, she endured boos when she called the president a «champion» for families during a panel canada goose outlet uk discussion with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, International Monetary Fund Managing Director Christine Lagarde and other female leaders

But Ivanka is far from the first adult daughter to leave a mark on White House history. The teen rebel Alice Roosevelt, for canada goose clearance example, may have some scorched ones on the White House itself, given her habit of sneaking cigarettes in defiance of father Teddy canada goose outlet store canada goose clearance sale Roosevelt’s no women smoking rule. once famously declared.

Alice did sell cigarettes, though, long after she set up her Georgetown salon and was widowed cheap Canada Goose from her husband, House Speaker Nicholas Longworth. She uk canada goose outlet flogged Lucky Strikes in print ads, quipped like Dorothy Parker and was a legendarily acerbic hostess in Washington society into her 90s.

But the time wasn’t right for her to play more of an overt policy role in her father’s administration. «She was extremely intelligent,» said her biographer, University of Iowa history professor Stacey Cordery. «People always said if she had been a boy she would have been president.»

Cordery says nothing in canada goose black friday sale First Family history compares to the reach and depth Canada Goose Outlet of Ivanka’s official role. But her own vote for most influential first daughter in the pre Ivanka age may go to Maureen Reagan, the Gipper’s child with actress Jane Wyman.

Maureen Mermie, as her canada goose outlet in usa cheap canada goose dad called her lived at the White House during much of her dad’s presidency, where she was a reportedly a voice of moderation on women’s issues whispering canada goose outlet parka in his ear (Sound familiar?). She was active in party politics, co chairing the Republican National Committee and running unsuccessfully for canada goose outlet shop public office twice in California before dying of cancer in 2001.

Like Alice Roosevelt, Maureen’s half sister Patti Davis thrived in the wild child category of first daughters.

Ivanka hasn’t done that, though First Lady Melania Trump posed in the buff on a fur canada goose outlet online uk blanket handcuffed to a leather briefcase aboard Trump’s jet in 2000.

Anna Roosevelt played a less flamboyant but more central role in her father’s White House. FDR turned to his daughter as an all around help meet when his relationship with Eleanor Roosevelt had become canada goose outlet new york city strained and distant.

Anna was working as a journalist on the West Coast when Roosevelt asked her to come back to Washington during World War II. She ran his social calendar, took a hand in managing access to him and is credited by some with persuading him to take on Harry Truman as his final canada goose canada goose outlet outlet running mate. Life magazine took note of her influence by suggesting, «Daddy’s girl is running Daddy.»

It was Anna the president asked to accompany him to meet Winston Churchill and Joseph Stalin at Yalta.

Martha «Patsy» Jefferson Randolph took up First Lady duties during two winters at the White House for her widower father Thomas Jefferson. In 1806, she gave birth to the first baby born at the White House.

First Daughter Margaret Truman made a name for herself as an enthusiastic, if canada goose outlet store uk not accomplished, singer. When Washington Post critic Paul Hume panned her 1950 Canada Goose Online performance at Constitution Hall, her father let him have it in a note written on White House stationary.

«Some day I hope to meet you,» President Truman wrote. «When that happens you’ll need a new nose, a lot of beefsteak for black eyes, and perhaps a supporter below!»

Margaret Wilson was also a singer, but a less notorious one. She took over First Lady duties when Woodrow Wilson’s first wife died. Wilson had three daughters, who reportedly lobbied him to back the woman’s vote and support the 19th Amendment.

His youngest, Ellen Wilson, married Wilson’s secretary of the treasury at the White House, making William McAdoo arguably the most powerful presidential son in law in history.

On whether that achievement will survive in the age of Jared Kushner, Ivanka’s influential husband, history is still out.
