Perhaps no other historical figure has amassed more attention than Abraham Lincoln. His enormous accomplishments, intermittent failures and sudden death have placed him at the forefront of American folklore and myth for 150 years. His popularity, coupled with the enormous amount of scholarly attention has made Lincoln the most protean figure in American history. But beyond Lincoln's larger than life persona lived a flesh and blood human with faults and imperfections. These flaws are, perhaps, most evident in Lincoln's dealings with women. Presently, there are three books that evaluate Mr. Lincoln's relationship with women, but only one, The Intimate World of Abraham Lincoln (2005) by Clarence Author [Arthur] Tripp, attempts to examine his disinterest towards the opposite sex by claiming that the sixteenth president was gay. Another book-Donald Winkler's The Women in the Life of the Sixteenth President (2004)-examines Lincoln's relationship with women by focusing on Ann Rutledge, Lincoln's first love interest. The last book, The Women Lincoln Loved (1927) by William E. Barton, is more a biography of Lincoln's women than a scholarly synthesis. For many scholars, Tripp's book is too farfetched, Winkler's is overly subjective because it was written by a distant cousin of Ann Rutledge, and Barton's book is outdated, using research methods that are inadequate for the twenty-first century. Overall, none of these studies evaluates Mr. Lincoln's deficiencies with women by analyzing the social, political and religious climate of his time. Using a psychohistorical perspective, this dissertation will examine the underlying social and cultural factors that shaped Lincoln's character, especially regarding women. It contends that Lincoln's reaction to women was a result of his childhood experiences, his profound preoccupation with his career, his intent focus on reading books, his lack of courting practice, his intellectual superiority, his stern observance of the law, his biological and physical makeup, the influence of the religious and social standards of the times, and many other pertinent issues. This psychohistorical approach seeks to show a connection between the social and political spirit of the time and Mr. Lincoln's life within these constraints, thereby offering a revisionist analysis of one of history's most puzzling and enigmatic historical figures. While not claiming that Mr. Lincoln's actions were inevitably determined, this study presents evidence that social conventions strongly influenced his reactions regarding women.

Attempts to answer the questions of how Abraham Lincoln was affected by women and what effect he had on them. Here the stories have been brought together -- and filled out with newly discovered accounts -- in a fresh, new way that shows their effect on Lincoln¿s personality, ambition, and spirit. According to author Winkler, Lincoln¿s emotions and motivations were shaped from a mixture of crippling and energizing experiences associated with women -- experiences that profoundly affected both his personal and professional life. The book explores the impact of more than 30 women on Lincoln¿s life. Not overlooked are the positive impacts of women on Lincoln and he on them, especially his stepmother -- probably the first person to treat him with respect.

One of America’s most compelling First Ladies, Mary Lincoln possessed a unique vantage point on the events of her time, even as her experiences of the constraints of gender roles and the upheaval of the Civil War reflected those of many other women. The story of her life presents a microcosm through which we can understand the complex and dramatic events of the nineteenth century in the United States, including vital issues of gender, war, and the divisions between North and South. The daughter of a southern, slave-holding family, Mary Lincoln had close ties to people on both sides of the war. Her life shows how the North and South were interconnected, even as the country was riven by sectional strife. In this concise narrative, Stacy Pratt McDermott presents an evenhanded account of this complex, intelligent woman and her times. Supported by primary documents and a robust companion website, this biography introduces students to the world of nineteenth-century America, and the firsthand experiences of Americans during the Civil War.

Frank J. Wetta and Martin A. Novelli’s Abraham Lincoln and Women in Film investigates how depictions of women in Hollywood motion pictures helped forge the myth of Lincoln. Exploring female characters’ backstories, the political and cultural climate in which the films appeared, and the contest between the moviemakers’ imaginations and the varieties of historical truth, Wetta and Novelli place the women in Lincoln’s life at the center of the study, including his mother, Nancy Hanks Lincoln; his stepmother, Sarah Bush Lincoln; his lost loves, Ann Rutledge and Mary Owens; and his wife and widow, Mary Todd Lincoln. Later, while inspecting Lincoln’s legacy, they focus on the 1930s child actor Shirley Temple and the 1950s movie star Marilyn Monroe, who had a well-publicized fascination with the sixteenth president. Wetta and Novelli’s work is the first to deal extensively with the women in Lincoln’s life, both those who interacted with him personally and those appearing on screen. It is also among the first works to examine how scholarly and popular biography influenced depictions of Lincoln, especially in film.

Imagine Abraham Lincoln walking the streets of Evanston, Illinois, on Easter weekend in 1955, just a man suddenly and magically free of the terrible burden of leading the nation through war. How will the Great Emancipator react to this new world, where he finds comfort and love in the arms of a young widow? How will learning of his own death affect his efforts to end the war when he suddenly returns to the horrors of 1865? ""Abraham Lincoln, A Novel Life"" answers these provocative questions in a singular depiction of emotional reality and temporal fantasy that brings America's most beloved president to life as never before. Tony Wolk tells this haunting tale from the perspectives of Lincoln and three women in his real and fictional life.
