- Synopsis
- Edith Wilson had faced the deaths of her son and first husband and had run a business before she met President Woodrow Wilson. Throughout their courtship and marriage, the president involved her in his work. When a stroke, in 1919, confined him to bed, the newspapers called her, "America's First Woman President," because no one met with him, without seeing her first. Was she running the country? The author explores this question, using quotes from Edith Wilson's memoir and courtship letters.
