she is a scholar at the hoover institution and working on a biography of lou henry hoover. what inspired you to spend several years of your life looking at this woman. >> i was at the national first ladies library in canton, ohio. i realized that this was a story that has not been told. there are some in the layers to her. some activities that she was involved in. she left forat women is something that i want people to know about. >> she was born in waterloo. the story i heard is that her father wanted a boy. >> so they say. lou is not short for anything. she was raised as a tomboy. one of the earliest pictures of her is her fishing in a stream. we have a picture of her carrying a rifle. a lot of her diary talks about ,er joint of being able to hunt fish, and be outdoors. she was somebody who was totally fascinated with the outdoors. obviously, she studied geology at stanford university. her 60s, we have material from her going on camping trips at the age of 63 oh stop she rode horseback into her campsites and slept on the ground while her other friends pallets.tents on >>

knew the hoover's. my mother's family was involved in the creation of the party.can iowa >> anyways, i'm bragging. >> all right. thank you very much. lots of personal connection. the hoover's took a personal approach to the stories. how did they respond to the stories and please for help -- p help.or >> they were always getting letters for help. so, when she started getting letters and asking for requests for help, she had to determine how many of these were traditional letters and how many of d's were legitimate. and she got a letter that she thought was legitimate. she would pass it onto a friend. should ask a friend if they were taken out and find out whether or not this is actually legitimate and who this person is. whether or not they would benefit from assistance. and she got the word back from her friends that she was -- that this was somebody who would benefit, she would anonymously, usually through a friend or through somebody else in the community, she would anonymously send money to help that

on an anti-hoover message. is whatthe information we have to look at more carefully. they did pay several staff members out of their own funds. they made sure all the staff made -- ate three meals a day and were able to keep their jobs. it is a mixed message about what was going on with the white house. and needs to be looked at more closely. , what were her opinions of the women suffrage haveent? >> we don't evidence of her being actively involved. but she said something when she was 15 years old talking about she didn't think it was right that women should be classified in the same category as jill birds and convicts. and convicts. in other words, being denied the right to vote. favor ofery much in saying women get the right to vote. but she was on active suffragette. -- not an active suffragette. believe in equality between men and women? >> absolutely. >> here are some of the artifacts they brought back. >> among the different things that lou collected through her life were the chinese porcelains, blue-and-

such eagerness anti-hoover sentiment that people had opportunities to capitalize on the anti-hooversage. some of that is what we need to look at more carefully but we do know that they did pay several white house staff out of their own funds to make sure all of their own staff ate three meals per day and could keep their jobs. it is a mixed message what is going on with the white house in these to be looked at more carefully. >> host: and facebook question is what this mrs. hoovers opinion of the women's suffrage movement? >> guest: she was not actively involved but at 15 she wrote in support of suffrage as a teenager talking about the fact she did not think it was right that women should be classified in the same category as jailbirds a and convicts to be denied the right to go because those who were convicted could not. says she was very much in favor that women get the right there she was not be active suffragette. >> host: a question from twitter being a tomboy did she believed in equality between men and women? >> guest: absolutely. >> host: we will show the video about her tra

hoover and the of is a good example. here is a black-and-white silver pattern and a wonderful addition to the exhibit. >> host: that is the view of some of the first lady collection at the smithsonian. it has been so helpful to us. what did she do to change the white house during her tenure? >> guest: one of the things that she did was on the social side, which as we talked about was how things are structured. i'm thinking of the structure of the actual building. so one of the things that she did was refurbishing on the second floor. we saw this in one of the earlier clips, drawings of butterflies and flowers, she did drawings of what she wanted the bookcases to look like on the second floor. she was also involved with the redoing of some of the downstairs areas, not the green room, which had been started under grace coolidge and furnished by a committee that had been appointed by congress. but she did some refurbishing and the blue room as well. >> host: these were years of prohibition. what were their attitudes of proh

that is very nice. >> what is the hoover school? >> it was established by the hoovers after they had encountered some local families that lived in the area they realize these children had never attended public schools so they went about with their own fund to build the school then worked with the state of virginia to hire a teacher in the interview did teacher they contacted the college in the kentucky it appellation at that does a pitchout to prepare people for working with a community such as this one. the hoovers funded it ever took the state to make sure the teacher was funded in it stayed in the place into the park over to the area to several was the most challenging part of the depression for lou to deal with? >> guest: that is a tough question probably what she saw it do to bert. >> host: how was she with the media? you talked about him but did she give formal interviews? >> guest: she did not. . .

we -- hoover dam was named for him during the hoover administration, the midwest drought started where the storms started all the way from north dakota all the way through nebraska down to oklahoma. >> marlin, thank you. i'm going jump in at that point. because you've given us a good opportunity to ask. ask what should her legacy be and how should we view the hoover administration in hindsight? what's the thesis going to be after writing this biography. >> my thesis is if she had not succeeded in a woman in a position for 13 years, we would remember a lot more of lou hoover now. lou's activism and a lot of her nonpolitical agenda and working with the girl scouts in 4-h set the stage for future first ladies to have causes and things that they supported that they did not necessarily have to have political repercussions or political connections. as far as remembering them for the depression, i think they were in -- i don't think that they were -- i don't think anybody knew how to handle this. this is the first one as we all know now that lasted as long as it did. and the thing we have to

written about, bipartisan, how harry truman picked hoover to run the hoover commission. and people don't do that anymore. and the fact is that fdr said, i'm going to pick the guy i just beat. and i was afraid of him a bit. i'm going to make him my emissary to europe. three, two -- >> he had a famous dinner with wilke the night before his third inauguration. he stayed up until midnight talking, having a few glasses of wine, and gave him a hand-written note as his emissary. wilke went over there, saw what was pledge was going to london, came back, and made an impassioned plea for lease, and it passed, and fdr gave him full credit for it. >> if he survived, he didn't have good health. dead pretty much four years. if he would have survived, the republican party might be a different party if he had won in '48. >> it might very well have. but by supporting len lease, he probably ruined his chances to get that nomination in '44, as you point out. he was ill, so that precluded it.

i wish to thank collectively my friends and colleagues at the hoover institution, the hoover institution library and archives, the hoover press, without which this book could not have been written. so there's to many here to thank them individually so i would like to thank you collectively. now, to the book itself, i said this before but it's a good way to introduce the topic. sal and is purported to have said that death of one person is a tragedy. the death of a million is a statistic. those of us who study soviet russia fall into the trap. we think we can convince people of stalin's evil by citing civilians who died. and its famines, the hundreds of thousands shot during the great care, 37, 38, and the millions of men, women and children who sat in his concentration camps and special settlements. stalin's many admirers in today's russia, and even the west, admit that stalin may have done some bad things, but if you look at it in its totality, maybe it was worth it. today, stalin as among the most admired figures in contemporary russia, which may be hard for us to believe. my story tran
