Born on this day in 1879, Grace Anna Goodhue Coolidge remains one of the best definitions of graciousness and true beauty ever to serve as First Lady. What she sacrificed for others to complete her course cannot be quantified. As the Twenties are here again, perhaps a renewed appreciation for her legacy and example in words and deeds will finally gain its proper regard after so long a neglect in the historical consciousness. We love you, Mrs. Coolidge! You look better than ever, dear lady.
