Margaret Woodrow Wilson

Margaret Woodrow Wilson fascinates me precisely because her life refuses a tidy summary. Born to a future U.S. President, she stepped in as acting First Lady after her mother's death, a daughter shouldering a ceremonial weight few could imagine. She sang, she wrote, she moved through politics. Yet her final act is the one that lingers for me: she sailed to India and devoted herself to Ramakrishna's teachings, lending her name to an English rendering of the Gospel. A woman raised at the center of American power chose, in the end, an inward and spiritual road. That arc, from the White House to an ashram, is unforgettable.
