Lou Henry Hoover
Lou Henry Hoover (March 29, 1874 – January 7, 1944) was the wife of President of the United States Herbert Hoover and served as First Lady from 1929 to 1933.
Marrying her engineer husband in 1899, she traveled widely with him, including to Shanghai, China, and became a cultivated scholar and linguist. A proficient Chinese speaker, she is the only First Lady to have spoken an Asian language. She oversaw construction of the presidential retreat at Rapidan Camp in Madison County, Virginia. She was the first First Lady to make regular nationwide radio broadcasts.
==Early life and education==
Lou Henry was born in Waterloo, Iowa, to banker Charles Delano Henry and Florence Ida Weed.〔Allen〕〔Hart, pp. 129-33〕 Lou grew up something of a tomboy in Waterloo, as well as Whittier, California, and Monterey, California.〔 Charles Henry took his daughter on camping trips in the hills—her greatest pleasures in her early teens.〔 Lou became a fine horsewoman; she hunted, and preserved specimens with the skill of a taxidermist; she developed an enthusiasm for rocks, minerals, and mining.〔
She attended San Jose Normal School, now San Jose State University. In 1894 she enrolled—as the school's only female geology major—at Stanford University, where she met Herbert Hoover, who was then a senior.
