Lois Romano with Kathleen Matthews

Lois Romano is a celebrated journalist who was an editor, political writer, and columnist for The Washington Post and Politico. Now, with the publication of her new book, “An Inconvenient Widow: The Torment, Trial, and Triumph of Mary Todd Lincoln”, Romano brings to life a misunderstood, historically unknown ‘inconvenient widow’ in the wife left behind in the wake of the assassination of her husband, President Abraham Lincoln. This biography illuminates a lost chapter and presents Mary Todd Lincoln as a formidable force and full partner in what became a historic presidency that changed the course of American history.  Lois will be joined in conversation with television journalist and communications strategist, Kathleen Matthews.
