A shout-out to @RBoggsRoberts for her wonderful book ‘Untold Power’, a bio of pioneering First Lady (and first woman president?) Edith Wilson. It’s written with style, nuance and deep insight—and it contains this gem of a footnote:
History isn’t just old white men. Tell your friends about it. History is African Americans, women, LGBTQ+, Labor (democrats, I’m looking at you here), young people, poor people, native people. And more.

enjoyed listening to Betsy Griffith interview @RBoggsRoberts about her new book @VikingBooks @PoliticsProse 💙📖
Happy happy book birthday to this genius book by @RBoggsRoberts: an unflinching look not just at a fascinating, hugely influential first lady, but at the compromises and complicities women throughout American history have made to find security in life and cultural memory.
Edith Wilson was high-energy, hilarious, complicated, and prickly. She could be vicious. She probably could have benefitted from Codependents Anonymous. What she wasn’t was anything like her depiction in previous biographies.
You probably know this part of the story: Wilson had a stroke in 1919, incapacitating him. Edith covered for her husband. She effectively ran the country - just like she had everything else in her people’s lives when things fell apart. Since forever.
She was the Sister Who Solved Everyone’s Problems in her messy family. Perhaps explains her lifelong habit of attaching herself to prominent, older, wildly unappealing Project Men, then fixing their lives: first jewelry guy, then Woodrow Wilson, the single grossest US president.
She was the first woman in DC to get a driver’s license. She saved her first husband’s jewelry business from decades of debt and mismanagement, which had been exacerbated among other things by Mary Todd Lincoln’s compulsive-shopping credit line.
I’m glad this was on in Indianapolis! I am reliably informed that my mom heard it. @MorningEdition @NPR npr.org/2023/03/08/116…
