Betty Boyd Caroli Biography

She appears frequently on national television and radio to comment on the current first lady and how she compares with the women who preceded her. In the recently aired PBS American Experience program on Woodrow Wilson Caroli was interviewed extensively about her views on President Wilson and both his wives. Caroli's book First Ladies with more than 120000 copies in print was first published during the Reagan years but it is regularly updated to include Nancy's successors.
Caroli's book Inside the White House with more than 250000 copies in print invites readers behind the scenes to experience what it has been like for the families who lived in the most famous home in the world. In gathering material for her books Caroli depends heavily on letters to form her conclusions. Many of the letters she uncovers tell her just what she wanted to know. What Woodrow Wilson wrote to the woman friend who was also his traveling companion; what Lou Hoover wrote to the man who gave her a new Cadillac what Eleanor Roosevelt wrote to Jacqueline Kennedy-these all helped shape the pieces of the puzzle that support Caroli's conclusions. But in other cases crucial letters were missing because as more than one first lady made sure they got burned.
Caroli's work on first ladies led her directly to her most recent book The Roosevelt Women or as she sometimes dubs it Eleanor and Her Aunts. Not only was Eleanor Roosevelt a tireless letter writer but so were her father's two sisters (also Roosevelts). Her aunt Edith Roosevelt who preceded Eleanor to the White House left letters that give an entirely different picture of the woman once heralded as having never made a mistake. Without those letters we might discredit one relative's assessment of her as mean as a snake.
