First Lady Edith Wilson was a Washington widow who married President Wilson in 1915, following the death of his pro-suffrage wife.<BR/><BR/>First Lady Edith Wilson's role in President Wilson's decision to jail and torture Alice Paul and hundreds of other suffragettes will never be fully known, but she was outraged that these women picketed her husband's White House.<BR/><BR/>I'd like to share a women's history learning opportunity...<BR/><BR/>"The Privilege of Voting" is a new free e-mail series that follows eight great women from 1912 - 1920 to reveal ALL that happened to set the stage for women to win the vote. <BR/><BR/>It's a real-life soap opera! And it's ALL true!<BR/><BR/>Powerful suffragettes Alice Paul and Emmeline Pankhurst are featured, along with TWO gorgeous presidential mistresses, First Lady Edith Wilson, Edith Wharton, Isadora Duncan and Alice Roosevelt.<BR/><BR/>There are tons of heartache on the rocky road to the ballot box, but in the end, women WIN!<BR/><BR/>Thanks to the suffragettes, women have voices and choices!<BR/><BR/>Exciting, sequential episodes are great to read on coffeebreaks, or anytime.<BR/><BR/>Subscribe free at<BR/><BR/>www.CoffeebreakReaders.com/subscribe.htmlVirginia Harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09724036765002243807noreply@blogger.com
