A hilarious parody memoir for the beloved Veep character portrayed for seven seasons by Emmywinner Julia LouisDreyfus.Born and raised deep in the American heartland of Godfearing suburban Maryland, young Selina Eaton learned to love her country and her fellow man from her parents, Catherine, a sportswoman, dog lover, and philanthropist, and Gordon, or Daddy as she always called him, a businessman and entrepreneur. From an early age, Selina, an active, curious, happygolucky child, showed an uncanny ability to relate to others and to solve their realworld problems with realworld solutions. In this she was inspired by her idol: feminist, humanitarian, stateswoman, and first lady, Eleanor Roosevelt.Eleanor Roosevelt maintained a lively relationship with many prominent figures of her time, including Adlai Stevenson, John F. Kennedy, Albert Schweitzer, and probably Pablo Casals. She inspired countless women to break out of the established roles for women in society, among them the pioneering aviatrix Amelia Earhart, with whom she flew several times.Dubbed the Queen of the Air, Amelia Earhart captivated the nation both with her bravery, skill, and daring when flying her planes and when challenging society's hidebound attitudes as to what constituted a proper place for women. America mourned when she disappeared mysteriously somewhere in the Pacific during an attempted aroundtheworld flight in 1937. Speculation continues to this day as to Amelia's ultimate fate, even as hope has faded that she may yet be found alive.With wit, wisdom, eloquence, and fearless honesty, Selina Meyer reveals for the first time what really goes on in the halls of power, including the ultimate hall, the White House. It's all here: The triumphs, the tragedies, the personalities, and the momentous events that have shaped our times, brought together in a pageturning tale told as only Selina Meyer could tell it. Selina Meyer's compassion, her sense of humor, her grace, and her uncommon willingness to bare her heart make this story revelatory, beautifully rendered, and unlike any other president's memoir ever written.A Woman First: First Woman: A Memoir would be a fitting title for a book about Selina Meyer, Eleanor Roosevelt, or Amelia Earhart, but in this case, it is about Selina Meyer.
