The three generations of women who influenced Woodrow Wilson have much to teach us about the lives of American women from the 1840s to the 1960s.
Meet the Civil War generation of Wilson’s mother who lived by the precepts of the Old South, despite living many years after the war. Meet the Gilded Age and Progressive Era generation of his wives and friends, whose wider choices pulled them in different directions.
And meet the generation of Wilson’s daughters, who had excellent educations and fully embraced the freedoms of the New Woman, but whose lives took unexpectedly turns. Finally, meet Mary Scott, a long-time servant whose life was shaped by racism, but who, despite being somewhat older than the daughters, outlived them all and finally saw the legal liberation of her people.
