 | Hidden Power by Kati Marton
Each of the marriages the author examines offers up its own unexpected lessons about power & marriage, about the influence of presidential wives & about the evolution of women's roles in the twentieth century. Based on private White House documents & on interviews with the participants & with eyewitnesses to presidential events, we see Edith Wilson literally running the government when her husband becomes ill; the superb & necessary diplomacy of Jacqueline Kennedy; how Patricia Nixon's estrangement from her husband fed his paranoia; the generally constructive role Nancy Regan played, despite her frivolous reputation; the razor-sharp political instincts behind Barbara Bush's grandmotherly image; how Hillary Clinton saved her husband's presidency. Here are the stories of the ultimate power couples - each one very different, but all of them informative, lively & absolutely fascinating AUTHOR: Kati Marton
