Madness of Mary Lincoln

[Eva Elisabeth]

If Mary were alive today her "weaknesses" would be more accepted. No one would care about her multiple gloves purchases as many VIPs do similar. Same goes for the other weak points. She'd be called eccentric and possibly have her fans and "followers.
Mr. Emmerson's book has great info but his judgment I perceive as almost male chauvinistic. Cold Robert = good boy.
In my memory Ms Clinton's book shows even more sympathy for Mary than Ms Baker's.
One book I liked because while (very accurate) historical fiction the omniscient narrator revealed a very different possible view from Mary's perspective is by Samuel Schreiner, I highly recommend:

Dr. Evan's book is the most neutral one IMO.
