First Lady - encyclopedia article about First Lady.

The entire familyb> of the head of state may be known familiarly as the "First Familyb>".
First Lady is a term that is often, but not universally, applied to the female spouse of an elected male head of state or head of government, such as a President, Prime Minister, Premier or Governor.
Although the words "first lady" were previously used in combination to refer to prominent women, use of the title to refer to the spouse of an executive is credited to the United States where it was first widely used in 1877 to refer to Lucy Webb Hayes, popular wife of President Rutherford B. Hayes.

In theory, supreme power in the party was invested in the Party Congress, however, in practice the power structure became reversed and, particularly after the death of Lenin, supreme power became the domain of the General Secretary.

As Stalin consolidated his rule the party itself ceased to be a serious deliberative body under Stalin with Party Congresses, particularly after the Great Purge, being little more than show pieces in which delegates would sing the praises of Stalin in what became a cult of personality.
