In 1960\, Ha rvard’s sister college\, Radcliffe\, announced the founding of an Institut e for Independent Study\, a “messy experiment” in women’s education that o ffered paid fellowships to those with a PhD or “the equivalent” in artisti c achievement.

She also discussed it in numerous radio and podcast inter views including the 92nd Street Y\, Leonard Lopate at Large and Illeana Douglas’s The Film Scene. It won the Southwest Popular and American Culture Association’s 2020 Peter C.

\n“Sweig makes a persuasive case for Lady B ird’s influence not just within her marriage but on her husband’s career. In doing so\, she forces us to adjust the lens through which we’ve viewed one of our most consequential presidencies. She also forces us to take a h ard look at this country — at the state of our cities\, the state of our e nvironment\, and the fights for civil rights and women’s rights — and to s ee both how far we’ve come and how very far we have to go.” –< strong>Washington Post
\nLady Bird Johnson’s compl ex and captivating role—as a political partner to her husband\, as a vital yet underappreciated presence in the White House\, and as a critical advi sor and strategist—is recast in Julia Sweig’s magisterial biography\, LADY BIRD JOHNSON: Hiding in Plain Sight. The story is told in Lady Bird’s own words through the largely unknown and overlooke d audio diaries that she kept during her five-plus years in the White Hous e: 123 hours of tape totaling 1\,750\,000 words. Lady Bird’s tapes show he r to be a formidable storyteller and historian\, and a conscious creator o f legacy.
\nSweig’s portrait of Lady Bird resonates powerfully and p oignantly with the country’s current social upheavals\, uncovering perhaps the most underestimated First Lady of the 20th century. And Johnson’s alm ost real-time\, highly personal narration of key moments of American histo ry showcases her narrative prowess and unique perspective as she brings to life both the tragedies that defined the ’60s—the JFK\, MLK\, and RFK ass assinations and the Vietnam War—and the struggles and triumphs of the civi l rights movement. These tapes were hiding in plain sight at the LBJ Libra ry\, much like Lady Bird herself did at the White House.

With unparalleled access to the cha ncellor’s inner circle and a trove of records only recently come to light\ , she uncovers the unique political genius and secret to Merkel’s success. No modern leader so ably confronted Russian aggression\, enacted daring s ocial policies\, and calmly unified an entire continent in an era with cou ntries becoming more divided. Merkel cleverly outmaneuvered strongmen like Putin and Trump and weathered surprisingly complicated relationships with allies like Obama and Macron.
