"[A biography of Mary Todd Lincoln whose] determined spirit made her one of the most memorable First Ladies. She was witty and highly educated, although that wasn't popular for women of her time. Though born and raised in the South, she opposed slavery and supported her husband's quest to save the Union. No matter what criticism or hardship she faced, including her husband's assassination, she remained loyal to her country."--Provided by publisher.

"I'm usually the smartest person in the room."--Front cover.
