Madam President is a Literary
Guild Selection
Revealing the Hidden History
of Edith Wilson in the Oval Office
Washington, D.C.—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 narrative is already a History Book Club Selection with a Five Star
Foreword review and an endorsement by the Washington Post. The story of the
First Woman President is gaining steam. After a CSPAN filming at the Woodrow
Wilson House in Washington DC, Author William Hazelgrove is making ripples with
his story of Americas First Woman President.
According
to acclaimed author, Hazelgrove, if Hillary Clinton is elected, she won’t be 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.
In Madam President you’ll
discover:
Who America’s real first female president was
How Edith Bolling Wilson undertook the office of the president
Why Edith Bolling Wilson’s presidency was kept secret
Why the history of America’s first female president is so significant in 2016
What Edith Bolling Wilson’s
presidency did to lay the groundwork for women in government
