Heath Hardage Lee’s just published (August 6, 2024, St. Martin’s Press) book The Mysterious Mrs. Nixon: Washington’s Most Private First Lady is the first commercial biography of Pat Nixon in almost 40 years. Ms. Lee will reveal her take on “The Mysterious Mrs. Nixon” in conversation with two other recent First Lady biographers: Rebecca Roberts, author of Untold Power: The Fascinating Rise and Complex Legacy of First Lady Edith Wilson and Julia Sweig, author of Lady Bird Johnson Hiding in Plain Sight. Sweig will conduct a wide-ranging interview with Lee about her just published book. All three biographers will talk about First Ladies, their image in the media, and how the role of FLOTUS remains as Pat Nixon said, “the hardest unpaid job in the world.”
