I know that you say Edith Wilson was a great first lady. I agree, but my favorite first lady. Is Eleanor Roosevelt. She was amazing to me! She was a very strong lady and dud even more for the USA.
Eleanor Roosevelt is my favorite, too. As the niece of Theodore Roosevelt, both descendants of the Bulloch family. She came up in Washington political circles, and despite being a wealthy, well-connected socialite, her deep commitment to social justice for the underprivileged cannot be overlooked. Roosevelt could've lived a quiet, private life of a Washington doyenne who partied throughout Washington and New York, but she didn't, so I'm still impressed by her humanitarian and philanthropic efforts.
Eleanor Roosevelt was First Lady for 12 years. She undertook arduous lengthy journeys in piston engined aircraft during WW11 visited Australia where I was a humble War Baby.
Eleanor Roosevelt did more good than any other First Lady by advocating for black people, the poor & education. She helped FDR - already very empathetic & liberal - stay true to important issues he was getting pressure from Republicans & even some Democrats for being too 'socialist'. Eleanor traveled the country alone, a strong advocate for all women's rights far outdoing Mrs. Wilson or any other First Lady since!
No respect at all. She took power that wasn't her's to wield. This should never be something the U.S. should look back at with pride. It would be interesting to learn whether she was as racist as her husband who brought the film Birth of a Nation to be played at the White House
Wilso comes in at the bottom as President. It will very hard for any Prsident to replace him at the bottom. His policies and ideas play out to be awful.
@@mikefallopian3191 People always say the current president is the worst but considering what we just got rid of, I think it'll hardly be true in this case.
Asking his wife what to do, and not allowing other women the same freedom of opinion to be expressed at an election poll, what a hypocrite, both him and his wife.
Crazy to know but I’m a documented direct descendant of Edith Wilson. Hello from the family. And trust me. The women in my family act just like her. They uphold power and they chase us down for disrespecting their authority. But the blood is in us boys also and they know that. So it’s mutual authority. And things get messy. Hello from the bloodline😊
Would you want to be First Lady if you had the chance?
God, no.
Why not ask would a woman want to be president sort of sexist aren't you?
Off topic but you guys should check the racism in your comments…
@@teresafoster5818 nobody likes the hall monitor.
I really enjoy this presenter and the history topics. 👍🏻😀

Why would anyone be proud of someone who broke the law by secretly covering for her husband.
I highly recommend the podcast “Edith”. It’s hilarious.
Yes, it is supposed to be a comedy.

OK but what's the 'good' part ?
@@mikefallopian3191 You obviously can’t read. 🙄
@@mikefallopian3191 you got roasted
FDR shyed away from anti lynching laws because he needed the Southern Democrat vote.
She was definitely the first bad ass girl of gaining power. Much respect

I learned she didn't support women's rights. That is a cause that directly affects her, which makes her a hypocrite.
Illegally
Edith Wilson did what she had to do at the time and that is something to be admired.
No what she did was completely illegal. No one should have that kind of power who wasn't elected.

Biden just went flying by him.
Beat me to it.
@@mikefallopian3191 I sense modern bias. This is about ranking historical presidents not recent or current time ones

@@mikefallopian3191 yup
Here because of Jill
She’s definitely pulling an Edith now.
Asking his wife what to do, and not allowing other women the same freedom of opinion to be expressed at an election poll, what a hypocrite, both him and his wife.
"Are you the Key Master?"
I would have said Eleanor Roosevelt, hands down.
Hi
Such a scandal?.. where’s the transparency here smh
Wilsoooon!👀👀

2:24 Edith & Norman Galt had no children to survive infancy, but they did have one son who died aged 2 days.
Edith...will you stifle!
Totally thought that was the Cat in a Hat
Finding out that Edith Wilson was a decendant of Pocahontas
Not a mention of the Hilary hahaha
And and why sir you have to mention her
Yup
She couldn't have been any worse than her husband who is considered to be one of the worst presidents ever.
Yes…. She was much worst. Look at the shit she signed for Wilson at the end of the administration.
It’s just a matter of time before some dude in lipstick will be the First Lady.
Wilson was a racist and downright awful person.
And Edith shared his views
No she wasn’t
No.
