🇺🇸On this episode of American FLOTUS, historian Katherine A. S. Sibley joins host Alan Lowe to discuss First Lady Florence Harding: Behind the Tragedy and Controversy.

From her youth in Ohio to the halls of the White House, Florence always showed great intelligence and independence, helping create the modern model of active, engaged, and influential First Ladies. Though her time in that role was cut short by the untimely death of her husband and has been affected since by controversy, Florence had an impact that is still seen today.
