First Moms Lou Henry Hoover is a big history crush for us.  Ever a maverick, Lou was a tomboy, a scientist, and the first woman to major in geology at Stanford.  After she married Herbert Hoover, the two traveled to China, Burma, Japan, Egypt, Australia, and New Zealand. As a mother, Lou traveled the world with her young children.  After giving birth to their first son, Herbert Jr., in 1903, Lou was ready to travel within five weeks. The baby, a nurse, and the Hoovers left for Australia with baby Herbert in a traveling basket.  By the time Herbert Jr. was one year old, he had been around the world twice. Here is portrait Lou Hoover with Allan and Herbert Jr. in London, England, 1908. Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there.  And thanks for the adventures! -from the Hoover Library
