Hidden Power: Presidential Marriages That Shaped Our Recent History

"Each of the marriages that Kati Marton examines in this book offers up its own lessons about power and marriage, about the influence of presidential wives, and about the evolution of women's roles in the twentieth century. Based on private White House documents and on interviews with the participants and with eyewitnesses to presidential events, Hidden Power explores how both the personal dynamics and public faces of White House marriages have shaped our history."--BOOK JACKET.
