Ep 3: Lady Bird Johnson: Attaining Power By Being #2

Women of Power
Dela

In this episode, we do something different: we cover a woman whose power was entirely derived from her husband. We discuss how Lady Bird achieved her ambitions by fighting hard for her marriage to the most powerful man of her time, President Lyndon B. Johnson. We also dive into the political strategies they used to propel his career into the White House.
