Washington
Post asks the Question: Did we already have an unelected Madam President?
WASHINGTON, DC - 11/20 /2016 (PRESS RELEASE JET) — Madam
President The Secret Presidency of Edith Wilson has been chosen as a Literary
Guild Selection. Released on Oct 17th by Regnery, the highly researched

Now the Washington Post has posed the question: did we already have an
unelected Madam President?

According to acclaimed author, William Hazelgrove Hillary
Clinton would not have been our first female
president. Edith Wilson took the mantle of First Woman President almost a
hundred years ago. Months before women won the right to vote, a woman was
secretly running the Executive Office. Few know the hidden history of Edith
Bolling Wilson’s presidency – until now. Author William Hazelgrove provides an
engaging portrait of the woman who became the acting president of the United
States in his new book Madam President: The Secret Presidency of Edith
Wilson (October 17; Regnery Publishing; 978-1-62157-475-0;
$29.99).
Assuming the authority of the Oval Office after President
Woodrow Wilson suffered a debilitating stroke, Edith’s presence was quietly
acknowledged in D.C. circles at the time, but since then her legacy has largely
been forgotten.
A senator during her time called her “the Presidentress who had
fulfilled the dream of suffragettes by changing her title from First Lady to
Acting First Man.” Now, the full history of America’s first female president is
finally revealed.
