“…and so began my stewardship.”

Edith Bolling Wilson, First Lady to President Woodrow Wilson

These words were written by Edith Bolling Wilson in her autobiography  My Memoir, describing a time when some historians refer to her as “The Secret President” and “The First Woman President.” These titles were bestowed upon her when her husband, President Woodrow Wilson was incapacitated by a stroke. Mrs. Wilson was viewed as assuming many of his governmental duties.

The Edith Bolling Wilson Birthplace Foundation and Museum is steward to the history and birthplace of this influential, controversial, and politically significant woman of the twentieth century.
