Lois Romano on why she wrote a book about Mary Todd Lincoln: "I remember looking back and reading about Mary and thinking, was she really all this bad?
Was she really crazy?
That's what everyone would always say.
Wasn't she crazy?
And I concluded that her biography was not well-rounded, that she was judged by some of her flaws.
And no one should be judged by only her flaws.
And some of it was misogyny.
We all should be allowed a little bit of grace in our lives.
And she got no grace during her lifetime."
