| biography:
| US first lady (1929–33), born in Waterloo, Iowa, USA. She was the first woman to major in geology at Stanford, where she met Herbert Hoover; they were married in 1899. Well-educated, and extremely well-travelled, she was popular in 1929–30, but, like her husband, she lost much public favour during the Great Depression. |
