Publisher's Synopsis
The wives of Woodrow Wilson were strikingly different from each other. Ellen, quiet and intellectual, died after just a year and a half in the White House and is thought to have had little impact on history. Edith, flamboyant and confident left a legacy of controversy. Yet each played a significant role in the White House. This presents a rich and complex portrait of Wilson's wives, one that compels us to reconsider our understanding of both women.
