Join us in learning more about White House History right from your own home. Our Facebook Live series, White House History Live, delves into the stories that make up the history of the Executive Mansion.

While this nation has yet to elect its first woman president—and though history has downplayed her role—just over a century ago a woman became the nation’s first acting president. In fact, she was born in 1872, and her name was Edith Bolling Galt Wilson. Join Rebecca Roberts, author of the new biography Untold Power, for a lively discussion of the beautiful, brilliant, charismatic, and calculating woman who reshaped the position of First Lady into one of political prominence forever.

This event will be live streamed on the White House Historical Association's Facebook and YouTube pages starting at 5:30 pm ET on March 21.
