Storyboard-Text

  • Good morning homeskillets! Today we will be discussing the first female president of the United States. Now I know what you’re thinking. “Susannah, there’s never BEEN a female president!”
  • Her name was Edith Wilson, and she’s the topic of todays lesson.
  • While you would be technically correct, a female has never been elected, a woman has run the country.
  • Edith and Woodrow met in 1915, a few months after Wilson’s first wife died. They got on very well, though their courtship was plagued by rumors. There were accusations that the couple has murdered Wilson’s late wife in order to be together, while other tabloids wrote that Wilson had been cheating. Nevertheless, the two were married within three months of meeting.
  • During her time in the White House, Edith was a model citizen. She instituted rationing within the White House to set an example for the people.
  • Meatless Mondays!
  • Gas-less Sundays!!
  • Wheatless Wednesdays!
  • In 1919, after the Paris Peace Conference, Wilson went on a tour to drum up public support for his League of Nations plan. He had already been in poor health, and suffered a stroke upon returning home. He was paralyzed and never fully recovered.
  • After his stroke, Edith became the “steward” of the presidency. Every memo, every briefing, every person went through her first. She became the sole link between the President and his cabinet. She decided what he saw and what he didn’t.
  • Nobody knew about Edith. She wanted to maintain her husbands legacy, so she did all this with no recognition. She led her husband to lead the country steadily and with great poise. Hers is a great story about taking what opportunities you can, and making the world work for you.
