  Florence Harding: first lady
Though Florence Mabel Kling was born the daughter of the wealthiest banker in Marion, Ohio, her life progressed to everywhere but on 'easy street.' Her mother died after Florence was born, so she never received the nurturing of a mother’s love.

Florence was a woman of low self-esteem, clinging to the attention of anyone that paid attention to her.

 Amazon.com: Florence Harding: The First Lady, the Jazz Age, and the Death of America's Most Scandalous President: ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
Florence Harding was at least as much a modern First Lady as Eleanor Roosevelt--outspoken, a strong feminist, a woman with a major voice in her husband's administration.
Florence was very much the ambition behind Warren, who probably would not have made it further than being a small town Ohio newspaper editor without her; yet he showed considerable resentment toward her outspokenness over the years--perhaps the root of some of his womanizing.
Florence's life provides a very apt prism through which to view Harding's rise to power, his demise, and his mysterious death, upon which the author sheds some new and interesting light.

 Florence Harding
A hardware store owner she described as "the richest man in town", he had wanted a son, and ordered that Florence be raised as a boy, which she was until adolescence.
This cruelty backfired, at least as far as her father was concerned, as it allowed Florence Kling -- she preferred to be called "Flossie" -- to grow up thinking of herself as the equal of any boy, or any man. "No man, father, brother, lover or husband can ruin my life", she once said.
Florence Harding has been called the first "modern" First Lady, because she voiced her opinions, her husband was willing to listen, and they made no attempt to keep her intelligence a secret.
