You know what, I hate the clown world as much as the next guy but it has its moments.
It's like a while back when the USA had a woman hold the power of the president for the first time for a few hours - and it was because the real president was currently unconscious with a camera up his asshole. Or when my country's president would receive guests (newly elected government's ministers) while sitting in a giant terrarium because he tested positive for Corona. It's the little things.
The real first woman president was Edith Wilson. Woodrow stroked out in 1919 and she did a version of Weekend at Bernies. Edith turned out to be a great president as she was hesitant to do anything too aggressive or set any major precedents. There was a market crash in 1920 and her hesitation prevented the now typical response of slashing interest rates and bailing out buisnesses, thus the unmolested market was able to avoid a severe depression that the typical government intervention causes.
There is plenty out there on Edith Wilson's Weekend At Woodrows, as it has a bit of feminist appeal. There isn't any political reason to massage this aspect of history, so even the NYT has a good article. Do a search and pick whatever source you fancy.
As for the near miss depression of 1920, Tom Woods is the best. You can read it or watch it.
