They agreed that Laura Bush would be the most effective in getting out the message: condemning the Taliban’s treatment of women. She became the only First Lady to present a presidential radio address and, in doing so, she launched her international debut as a soft-spoken advocate for the administration’s foreign-policy goals. “She’s a natural communicator,” explains Hughes.
