Woodrow Wilson and Mrs. Peck. And Ellen Wilson

Woodrow Wilson always enjoyed feminine companionship.

Woodrow Wilson and Women in General

Like many men with high intellect and matching egos, Woodrow Wilson was drawn to the company of women. If they were attractive, intelligent, lively, gentle-natured and content to be a good audience, he was delighted to bask in their admiration.

He was also a devout Presbyterian. His family tree was peppered with ministers, including his own father. He prayed on his knees every night, until his health made it impossible. The teachings of his religion and its morality were of vital importance to him.

Very little is known of Wilson’s adolescence and early manhood vis-a-vis romantic interests. Most historians tend to believe he was generally shy around the opposite sex, believed himself to be “homely,” and if there was any “romance” involved, it was likely cerebral and certainly unfulfilled.
