A woman ahead of her time, and she seemed to choose her husbands more carefully as she aged and learned life lessons. I liked how she liked lavender and purple later in life.

WAY too melodramatic. To the point your prose is dripping with such syrupy sweetness as to drown a listener. Well researched but the History is so over shadowed by the melodrama and syrupy words that it's almost lost.

Thanks for sharing some information about American history. The movie called, "Mrs. Robinson" is a Hollywood tradtion based on a true story about an English and Spanish speaking woman living in the far North American south who had during the18th century married a European entreupreneur who was into noble 'farming' in North America. Was the original Mrs. Robinson really only ever a Eupopean born one or what? When the head of a family from that kind of old fashioned mansion and surrounding lavish gardens comes up to you to say, "You are our leader now." That would sound to most people just way too good to be true. Way too good to be true while constant being encouraged from there to be sharing to all concerned about the culture which you are said to be from. Another Hollywood tradition title for a movie often includes the word, "Fargo." "Fargo" minus the last name included with it - Wells. While a lot of us living in North America are often being flooded with propaganda against the west second hand store sorting warehouses is where a lot of the western history books are ending up while that is happening. So predictable how that has been happening since the year 2008. Has the stock market ever crashed as much since the year 2008? Seems to me that way back during the late 18th century while the industrial revolution was already well underway doing your best to avoid being treated like only an object puppet to be used by rich people must have been far more challenging to do back then regardless if you were a man or a woman or only a child at the time.

It sounds as if Sally had been dreadfully spoiled, which, unfortunately, sullied her character ….She couldn’t handle normal, married life-nor, of not being the center of attention….Divorce was a mortal sin before 1900-especially for a Catholic, as Ward was-her leaving her husband would have been looked upon with horror by her southern neighbors (no matter how “privileged” her family was)…. I’m surprised her father didn’t demand that she remain in the marriage…. One can read the social costs she endured between the lines : Going from the son of the American Ambassador to England (about as premium a match as she could have hoped to get)….to, a local doctor…..This video is sweet, but is also largely fictitious. Ward would have endured much social exclusion for her divorce and separation….(Also, you failed to mention how old she was when she died)….?

It sounds to me as though she had a near perfect life. Did the one husband fall from the window? Or did he end his life by choice? I find it interesting how these women kept marrying. It's almost like the men were waiting in line, hoping to be next.

In the old days, a "lady" would have been taught to speak sweetly and softly as the narrator does here. So before folks get on their high horses about her unbearable voice, reflect: the best of ladies ---as I'm sure all the ladies here would have accomplished easily---would all have clamored to have had an equally soft, distinct and musical voices and wouldn't have screeched like some of the rude harridans here.
