Ashley B on Instagram: "Edith Wilson. The First Lady who quietly ran the White House after Woodrow Wilson’s stroke. She called it a “stewardship.” Historians call it a shadow presidency. For over a year, she decided what papers he saw, what policies moved forward, and who got access to the Oval Office. 🎥 The unelected First Lady who held presidential power in secret. #unfilteredhistory #edithwilson #fyp #ashleytheebarroness #history #americanhistory #firstlady #woodrowwilson"
