Summary, etc. note:
|
Mary Todd Lincoln was at the center of politics at a time when society's expectations for women were rigid. Raised in an influential family, she had a keen political acumen.
As First Lady, she actively supported the the Union war efforts; but was attacked for having family that supported the South. She was a larger than life figure who spoke her mind and alienated many supporters.
During her widowhood she was abandoned by the nation that her husband had given his life for. Forgotten by her family & a medical profession that ignored her mental illness, this is the story of a brilliant and troubled woman. |
