Lynne Cheney, wife of Vice President Richard Cheney, has loved history for as long as she can remember, and she has spent much of her professional life writing and speaking about the importance of knowing history and teaching it well.
Two of Mrs. Cheney's works are books on American history for children. The first, America: A Patriotic Primer, released in May 2002, is an alphabet book for children of all ages and their families that celebrates the ideas and ideals which are the foundations of our country. Her second children's book, A Is for Abigail: An Almanac of Amazing American Women, published September 16, 2003, tells the story of women's contributions to American history. Mrs. Cheney's net proceeds from both best-selling books are being donated to charity.
Mrs. Cheney earned her Bachelor of Arts degree with highest honors from Colorado College, her Master of Arts from the University of Colorado, and her Ph.D. with a specialization in 19th century British literature from the University of Wisconsin. She is the recipient of awards and honorary degrees from numerous colleges and universities.
