Overview
On October 2, 1919, Woodrow Wilson's wife, Edith, discovered her husband on a White House bathroom floor, the victim of a massive stroke. What happened over the next year would make history...or would have if it hadn't been so carefully guarded. Join a team of historians as they investigate newly uncovered documents that suggest that Edith Wilson was, in effect, America's first female president, and--equally shocking--that she and her accomplices may have schemed to conceal an incapacitated president from the public.
