Edith and Woodrow: The Wilson White House is a 2001 book by Phyllis Lee Levin, published by Scribner.
It documents Edith Bolling Wilson's de facto rule during the portion of the Presidency of Woodrow Wilson after the man had suffered a stroke in 1919. She did this by blockading the media from covering the effects of the stroke, so the public did not know that Wilson had been incapacitated. The state of affairs lasted for the rest of Wilson's presidency.[1] Edith Wilson made political decisions and then falsely stated that they originated from Woodrow Wilson.[2]
Edwin M. Yoder Jr. of Washington and Lee University wrote that the author's reception of Edith was "severe"; the author argued that Ellen Axson Wilson would not have made the same choices.[1]
