Lorena “Hick” Hickok was a Wisconsin butter maker’s daughter, an ambitious journalist, the first woman with a byline on the front page of The New York Times—and the live-in lover of First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt. This musical-in-progress by Katie Dahl follows Hick and Eleanor as they meet on FDR’s 1932 campaign trail and begin a romance that will transform both their lives.
“Most clearly I remember … the feeling of that soft spot just north-east of the corner of your mouth against my lips.” – Hick to Eleanor, 1933
