Betty Boyd Caroli Biography
She appears frequently on national television and radio to comment on the current first lady and how she compares with the women who preceded her. In the recently aired PBS American Experience program on Woodrow Wilson, Caroli was interviewed extensively about her views on President Wilson and both his wives. Caroli's book, First Ladies, with more than 120,000 copies in print, was first published during the Reagan years but it is regularly updated to include Nancy's successors.
Caroli's book, Inside the White House, with more than 250,000 copies in print, invites readers behind the scenes to experience what it has been like for the families who lived in the most famous home in the world. In gathering material for her books, Caroli depends heavily on letters to form her conclusions. Many of the letters she uncovers tell her just what she wanted to know. What Woodrow Wilson wrote to the woman friend who was also his traveling companion; what Lou Hoover wrote to the man who gave her a new Cadillac, what Eleanor Roosevelt wrote to Jacqueline Kennedy-these all helped shape the pieces of the puzzle that support Caroli's conclusions. But in other cases, crucial letters were missing because, as more than one first lady made sure, they got burned.
Caroli's work on first ladies led her directly to her most recent book, The Roosevelt Women, or as she sometimes dubs it, "Eleanor and Her Aunts." Not only was Eleanor Roosevelt a tireless letter writer but so were her father's two sisters (also Roosevelts). Her aunt Edith Roosevelt, who preceded Eleanor to the White House, left letters that give an entirely different picture of the woman once heralded as having "never made a mistake." Without those letters, we might discredit one relative's assessment of her as "mean as a snake."
Caroli attended university in Italy and continues to spend a major chunk of each year there. Her love of that country has led her to write on Italian immigrants, especially those who came to the U.S. and then went back to Italy. She has scoured immigrant letters for what they had to say about what was right with America, and what was wrong. Her books, Immigrants Who Returned Home and Today's Immigrants: Their Stories recount some of her findings.
With more and more people relying on e-mails and faxes rather than the old fashioned letter, Caroli muses about the future path biographers will have to take in order to find sources for their books.
