Edith Wilson: Widow Years
The Society Pages say:
Mrs. Edith Bolling Galt continues to astound Washington society! After her husband died of the grippe, in 1908, Mrs. Galt did not sell his business as a lady ought to. Instead, she maintained the business, appointing her brother as head manager. As when the late Mr. Galt was alive, Mrs. Galt still keeps her distance from society. She does not come to many parties or benefits. She maintains her almost yearly trips abroad taking first her sister Miss Bertha Bolling and then Miss Alice Gertrude Gordon. The latest horrifying episode of Mrs. Galt involves a motor car. Her husband was one of the first men in Washington to own an electric car and now Mrs. Galt is driving it around town. It is actions like these, driving a car, that prove to all of us that Mrs. Galt is not a gentle lady.
