Remarkable American Women: Bess Truman
Remarkable American Women: Bess Truman – “We are not any one of us happy to be where we are but there’s nothing to be done about it except to do our best – and forget about the sacrifices and many unpleasant things that bob up.” This quote from Bess Truman expresses her attitude toward her Harry's elevation to President upon the death of FDR. Like others, she rose to the position and had a great deal of influence on her husband. – Corrine Egan, B.A.
