Margaret Woodrow Wilson


Margaret Woodrow Wilson was the eldest daughter of US President Woodrow Wilson and Ellen Louise Axson. Her two sisters were Jessie and Eleanor. After her mothers death in 1914, Margaret served her father as the White House social hostess, the title later known as First Lady. Her father remarried in 1915.

Margaret Woodrow Wilson was born in Gainesville, Georgia in 1886. Both her parents strongly identified with the South, and both of their fathers had been Protestant ministers. Wilsons parents were living in the North where her father was teaching, but her mother did not want her children born as Yankees. Ellen Axson Wilson arranged to stay with family in Gainesville for the births of her first two daughters. Margaret attended local schools, sometimes associated with the colleges where her father taught during her growing years.
