that set me off to the papers of woodrow wilson. first thing i started to notice, i thought i would approaches like this -- how ill was woodrow wilson? you would have to have a power vacuum to take over the presidency. i read everything i could find on it. the range went from one end to the other. some people said he was very sick, but some people said he recovered after six weeks which simply was not true. dr. weinstein talked about him, this is the last time i will go back to this book. the symptoms indicate that wilson suffered an occlusion of the right artery which resulted in paralysis of the left side of his body. there was a loss of vision in the left field of both eyes, clear vision only in hatfield of his right eye. -- half field of his right eye. he had difficulty swallowing and impairment of speech. he was severely setback by this stroke. we had a situation where the sitting president in 1919 has a severe stroke. edith wilson has only been married to him for five years, has two years of schooling, and is at the center. th

one day, she was out, and -- we will cut over to woodrow wilson at this woodrow wilson's point. first wife had died, and he and dr. grayson were motoring along, and they went by edith and woodrow wilson asked who she was. grayson tells him, and they arrange a meeting. at this point, the last thing edith wants to do is become involved with a president. they go to the white house and have a dinner, and we still have an image of woodrow wilson as a very austere man. he was a president of princeton. he seemed cold and aloof. but, in fact, he was more of a victorian lover. that is the best way i can put it. more like a poet. there is a great quote that says , "a sentimentalist is someone who hopes things will never end and a romantic is someone who that they will." woodrow wilson was like that, he had severe depression. so, he met this vivacious woman. he really loved vivacious inactive women. and active women. edith was cultured but did not have a lot of weight. wilson loved women with wit. they were intellectual equals. ellen would have women over to the house to banter. he asks ed

hello, woodrow, darling. and fix the leak under the kitchen sink. woodrow. would you please forgive me? it was all my fault. well, why--just forget it, esther. maybe we can try again, huh? well, if you cut down on drinkin' and smokin' i promise i won't be jealous of you and other women. and find me appealing? well, might be pretty hard, but sure. oh, hey. now that's what i like to see. that's--that's beautiful. well, there you are, woody. hey, esther, what are you doin' here? what do you mean what am i doin' here? well, wolf woman don't usually come out until there's a full moon. hey, pop. why don't you dig yourself? man, can't you see that uncle woody and aunt esther are back together again? yeah. oh. well then you won't be wantin' this coffee, woody. staying awake married to that. that's enough with the insults, fred. i'm going home with my wife. come on, baby. you do that, uncle woody. you tell him, baby. we goin' home.

theelcome everyone to woodrow wilson house. i am the interim director. before we get started, i would like to point out the portrait on the wall. that is the lady we will be talking about tonight. it is fitting we are here because her birthday was a few days ago. we are indebted to edith wilson for her forethought. without her generosity, the wilson house would not exist. she is a woman who saved everything, collected and donated it to the national trust in the 1960's. as with much of women's history, her story is generally relegated to second tier when talking about her husband, so it is a pleasure tonight to have william hazlegrove here to share his thoughts on her contributions to history. his new book is a look at her role after wilson suffered his stroke. this is just one of 13 of his books. toks will be available purchase and i'm sure he would be happy to sign them. please be sure to connect with us through our website and social media so we can keep you up-to-date on our upcoming events and exhibitions. we will open our latest exhibition on octobe
