Taft Era Social Power Centered On Mrs Taft's Charisma
Gen and Mrs Corbin and Gen and Mrs Edwards figure prominently in Washington social life as potential White House figures. Mrs Taft, educated and cultured, is depicted as a balanced, intelligent partner with broad interests in music art and reading. Her social influence, her public presence from Chicago to the White House, and her poised role as future first lady shape Washington society for the coming four years.
