Madam President: The Secret Presidency of Edith Wilson
Tuesday, September 10
6:00 – 7:00 P.M. Donation: $6
Most people don't know about the woman who married a sitting President, who only had four years of school, and ended up running the White House from 1919 to 1921. Edith Wilson did just that. When Woodrow Wilson had a stroke that left him incapacitated and bedridden, his wife stepped in and effectively became the President. This is hard for people to believe but it was the best kept secret of 1919 and has remained so up to this day. Presented by author, William Hazelgrove. Registration required.
