In America’s collective consciousness, Pat Nixon has long been perceived as enigmatic. She was voted “Most Admired Woman in the World” in 1972 and made Gallup Poll’s top ten list of most admired women fourteen times.

As the couple rose to prominence, Pat became Second Lady from 1953-1961 and then First Lady from 1969-1974.
