The caption of this photograph was
"There Will now be a Social Revolution." What the editors of Current
Literature meant by a social revolution, however, was not a broad range of
legislative initiatives and political victories, but a change in entertainment in the
capital city. Here Wilson is shown with his three daughters and his wife.
"Southern women will come to the front in the various fujnctions of the
Capital as they have not had a chance to do befgore since the Civil War."
This
prediction proved unfounded, as Mrs. Wilson soon fell ill and died. (Wilson
remarried while serving as President.) There were, however, important legislative
and political initiatives during the first years of the new presidency.
