#29: Florence Harding

Florence Harding, whose historical legacy consistently places her near the bottom in Siena Research Institute surveys, did not enjoy widespread popularity. Serving as First Lady from 1921 to 1923, she earned the moniker “The Duchess” for her regal demeanor.

Florence was known for hosting opulent and lavish White House soirées. Her advocacy extended to urging her husband to transform the White House into a more accessible and public space for tourists. With her distinct public persona and celebrity status, Florence stood out prominently. Furthermore, she fearlessly voiced her opinions on a wide range of subjects, leaving an indelible mark on history.
