"Dear Future Husband" is a song by Meghan Trainor (pictured), included on her 2014 extended play debut Title, and later on her 2015 studio album of the same name. Trainor wrote the song with its producer Kevin Kadish. Epic Records released "Dear Future Husband" as the album's third single on March 17, 2015. In it, she lists things a suitor needs to do to win her. Some music critics praised the song's playful nature, while others were negative about the portrayal of gender roles in its lyrics. In the U.S., the song reached number 14 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was certified 3× Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America. Fatima Robinson directed the music video for "Dear Future Husband", which depicts Trainor baking pies in the kitchen and scrubbing the floor while various men audition to be her partner. It garnered controversy and online criticism over allegations of antifeminism and sexism. Trainor performed the song on television and included it on the set lists of her tours. (Full article...)

Edith Roosevelt

Edith Roosevelt (August 6, 1861 – September 30, 1948) was the second wife of President Theodore Roosevelt, serving as First Lady of the United States during his presidency from 1901 to 1909, and previously as Second Lady of the United States in 1901 while her husband was Vice President. She was the first to employ a full-time, salaried social secretary as First Lady. Her tenure resulted in the creation of an official staff, and her formal dinners and ceremonial processions served to elevate the position. This photographic portrait of Roosevelt was taken by the American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston.
