LWV Book Club (Zoom) - Mary Todd Lincoln (Virtual)

Join the League of Women Voters' Book Club. Everyone is welcome, even if you haven’t read the book. There is sure to be interesting discussion and will leave learning something new! This group meets online.

For this Book Club meeting, readers have a choice of TWO books about Mary Todd Lincoln. The first is Mary Todd Lincoln: A Biography by Jean H. Baker. “In a thriving cottage industry of Lincoln studies Baker’s readable and sympathetic biography is easily the definitive account of the troubled First Lady.” - Library Journal.  The second book, The True Mary Todd Lincoln, is written by a writer from Lexington, Betty Boles Ellison, a member of the Kentucky Mansions Preservation Foundation, who was involved in the restoration and operation of her girlhood home. Both are available on Amazon in paperback and Kindle editions. However, you will probably learn about Mrs. Lincoln if you come for conversation. Everyone is welcome!
