MONMOUTH Lewis Gould says he was a “typical male historian writing about men” before he developed a new course to teach in the early 1980s at the University of Texas. That course, called First Ladies of the 20th Century not counting Nancy Reagan, who was in the White House at the time set Gould on a pioneering path of studying the history and legacies of the wives of American presidents. “I had to treat these women as independent and autonomous persons doing their own things,” said Gould, who has lived in Monmouth since 2012. “That was a dramatic shift for me.”
