conspiracy” nearing the end of her life, mary lincoln was ill in mind, body and soul. she wandered endlessly, always seeking comfort and solace. at what seemed to be the lowest point in her life she would suffer the ultimate betrayal, at the hands of her son, robert. mary todd lincoln – “a widow forgotten” mrs. lincoln’s life has come full circle as she returns to springfield, illinois to take up residence with her sister elizabeth. she recalls the days of her girlhood in the genteel society of lexington, kentucky, her marriage to the gangly young lawyer, and eventually her rise to become the first lady. eleanor roosevelt – “first lady of the world” eleanor roosevelt shares with the audience her tragedies and triumphs. born into the opulent wealth of america’s “golden age” she would grow from the shy, homely orphan into a confident, driven woman. annealed by personal tragedy, she would emerge as a champion of civil rights, author, and stateswoman. she is best summed up by president harry s. truman, who dubbed her “the first lady of the world.” eleanor roosevelt – “brother can you spare a dime” upon roosevelt’s election in 1932 he remarked to a friend that the country’s problems must be solved immediately or he would be the last president. the first lady would take on the role of advocate for those american’s most seriously affected by the great depression sari (ma) semple –

tales the listener is transported to those hills. the stories blend together the folklore and the gritty reality of life in the ridges and hollers of appalachia. young and old alike will be spellbound by the rich tapestry of words woven by sari. she is the first lady of appalachia. dolley madison – “the lady who saved washington” charming, flamboyant and strong willed, dolley was tested in the

governorship of wisconsin. cordelia’s life unraveled when she was widowed after less than three months in the governor’s mansion. her husband’s tragic drowning left cordelia rudderless and without purpose. she would set aside her grief to become the healing angel of a nation wracked by civil war. goode rebeka, trial by fire – “the salem witch trials” it was a new world. the settlers from england had gained a foothold in the verdant land called “amerika”. old traditions would be laid aside, new ones instituted. greed, jealousy, suspicion would still persist. were these at the root of “the salem witch trials”? innocent residents of salem, massachusetts were tried and many executed in perhaps the most infamous chapter in early american history. mary ann bickerdyke – “to heal a nation” during the american civil war more soldiers would die from disease than wounds. the care these men received often was worse than the illness itself. many women in both north and south would

new year quietly after the death of the president in february, 1924. the “war to end all wars” is now a memory. mrs. wilson has stood by the president stoically as she saw his strength sapped from the stress of the war and his dream of a league of nations fade. edith galt wilson sits alone now, answering the hundreds of letters of condolence. mrs. charles dickens – "the best of times" charles
