Summary: Mary Mary Todd Lincoln was a woman out-of-place.
Comment: While reading Mary Todd Lincoln: A Biography, I realized how distorted history can become when one listens and doesn't research. It appears that Mary Todd Lincoln was not insane at all. She was just a nasty, pushy woman with personality quirks who gave birth to a greedy, unfaithful son. This book will make you want to read more about the life of one of the most misunderstood women of history.

Summary: Mary Todd Lincoln as a real person
Comment: Jean Baker succeeds in presenting Mary Todd Lincoln as a troubled, but real human being, which is an accomplishment given her reputation. (I mean Mary's reputation, not Ms. Baker's ;))With the loss of her mother and the subsequent losses through out her life, Mary comes across as a person who expected and worst and whose expectations were frequently met. In another time she could have been a CEO or an attorney. It is easy to see what Lincoln was attracted to and how Mary was likely to resond to a man interested in her thoughts and political insights, not just her family background and prospects as a mother. Lincoln, at least, had a caring stepmother which is more than Mary had. She was a complex woman with many strengths and serious emotional problems.

Summary: MRS LINCOLN
Comment: This is the story of a women named Mary Todd, who grew up to be the wife of the sixteenth president of the United States, one of our most beloved leaders.
Unlike her husband who's named is absorbed in legend, Marry Todd Lincoln has been unfairly betrayed in history.
During a time when men still held most power in our country. Mary was often looked down upon and her own son even help establishing her living in a mental institution, ( I really don't think would happen in this day of age.)
Mary was infract very intelligent and very influence in her husband's career.
I honestly just don't think people could really understand what the poor women most have gone through during the last few years of her life.
I mean she must have replayed the scene of her husband being assented in her mind over and over again, and the fact that the way she handled her grief, and stress differently put her in the insane category.
If you ever want to learn something on Abraham Lincoln's wife, then I suggest this book.
You will probably learn information on the Lincoln family that you never learned in high school, let alone any were else.
I think this would be a good start for any one who wants to really learn about Marry Todd Lincoln, and why so many historians, have continued to berate, and bash her in history through out the years.
