An interview with Dr. Jill Biden

Jill Biden
Wife of Sen. Joe Biden (D-Del.)

What would be your signature issue as First Lady?
Having been a teacher for many years, I would have to say that education would be my number one priority. But, as a mother as well as a teacher, I would add that education is not just about reading, writing and arithmetic — it's about teaching our children how to keep themselves healthy. So, my focus would include teaching about health issues like obesity, the dangers of smoking and educating young girls about breast cancer and the importance of self exams.

Who is your First Lady role model?
I have always had a great deal of respect and admiration for Eleanor Roosevelt. She was a true humanitarian and champion of Women's Rights and Civil Rights. I especially love the story about her efforts to break the gender barriers in the world of journalism by holding weekly press conferences for women journalists only forcing newspapers to hire women.


Smart and beautiful!
