Book excerpt: This bibliography gleans a comprehensive study of the late 19th century woman through both her status as an unsolicited political figure and her social contributions. Between both tenures of her husband's Presidency to her re-marriage and ardent involvement in the National Security League and Needlework Guild, Frances Cleveland transformed the persona of how the modern woman was viewed for the following century. Particular detail is given as to how she transformed the White House and socio-political landscape of her time with a forethought toward the future.
