Florence Kling Harding participated in the first election which allowed women to vote for president. She used the White House as a forum to showcase the talents of women from all walks of life—scientists, athletes, musicians, singers, journalists and artists. Mrs. Harding, who was her husband’s staunchest supporter, was smart, politically savvy, an avid learner—and complicated. Her fascinating story offers a glimpse into what a small-town Ohio girl brought to the most famous residence in the nation.
