Melania Trump has brought to the White House a poise, a sophistication, let's admit it, beauty, and most of all a graciousness that we've not seen in a first lady since... Well, ever. In her husband's second term, she has made the plight of children caught in war zones and natural disasters her particular cause.
To that end, Mrs. Trump is now breaking completely new ground, and it's mildly amazing: She will be the first American first lady to chair a meeting of the United Nations Security Council.
U.S. first lady Melania Trump will preside over a U.N. Security Council meeting in what the United Nations on Thursday said would be a first.
When the wife of President Donald Trump takes her seat in the president’s chair on Monday afternoon, it “will be the first time a first lady, or first gentleman for that matter, has ever presided over a Security Council meeting,” U.N. spokesman Stephane Dujarric told reporters.
The United States takes over the rotating presidency of the 15-member council for the month of March, and the first lady’s office said the meeting she will preside over will “emphasize education’s role in advancing tolerance and world peace.”
Melania Trump has made children in conflict one of her signature issues, writing a letter to Russian President Vladimir Putin last year ahead of a summit with President Trump and later announcing that the effort had led to a group of children displaced by the Russia-Ukraine war reuniting with their families.

First ladies have typically taken on a signature cause. Nancy Reagan, for example, made drug abuse her cause, leading to the famous (or, in some circles, infamous) "Just Say No" campaign. Laura Bush, wife of President George W. Bush, pushed education and literacy. Hillary Clinton did... something? Didn't she?
Melania's cause is kids in trouble zones, and she's taking that cause directly to the United Nations.
