520    An up-close look at Edith Wilson, a first lady with 
       unequaled responsibilities during her husband's 
       presidency. After President Woodrow Wilson suffered a 
       paralyzing stroke in the fall of 1919, his wife, First 
       Lady Edith Wilson, began to handle the day-to-day 
       responsibilities of the chief executive. Mrs. Wilson had 
       had little formal education and had only been married to 
       President Wilson for four years, yet in the tenuous peace 
       following the end of World War I, she dedicated herself to
       managing the office of the president, reading all 
       correspondence intended for her bedridden husband. Though 
       her Oval Office authority was acknowledged in Washington 
       circles at the time--one senator called her "the 
       presidentress who had fulfilled the dream of suffragettes 
       by changing her title from First Lady to Acting First Man"
       --her legacy as the first woman president is now largely 
       forgotten. William Hazelgrove's Madam President is a vivid,
       engaging portrait of the woman who became the acting 
       president of the United States in 1919, months before 
       women officially won the right to vote.
