About this episode

The episode explores the lives of three US First Ladies and discusses the question of whether there has ever been a female US President.

This is Part 2! For Part 1, check the feed! This week we’re looking at 3x US First Ladies and their extraordinary lives: we have Louisa Adams (1775-1852), the extensively travelled Lou Hoover (1874-1944) and the powerful Edith Wilson (1872-1961). And this week we’re asking: has there ever been an easier job than the policeman with a clipboard ensuring people cross a job properly?
