First lady

The term First Lady refers to the wife of a head of state or head of government, particularly in the context of the United States. The role is not an elected one and carries no official duties, but it often involves ceremonial, social, and charitable responsibilities. The title is most commonly used in the United States, where the First Lady is traditionally the wife of the President. The equivalent term in Hebrew is גברת הראשונה (Geveret HaRishona). In other languages, the term is translated as Première dame in French, Primera dama in Spanish, and Erste Dame in German. The position of First Lady has evolved over time, with modern First Ladies often taking on significant public roles and advocating for various causes. The influence and visibility of the First Lady can vary greatly depending on the individual and the political climate.
