The President's Daughter

Memoir

By: Nan Britton

Date: 1927

Source: Britton, Nan. The President's Daughter. New York: Elizabeth Ann Guild, 1927, i–v.

About the Author: Nan Britton (1896–1991) spent her youth in Marion, Ohio, but the known historical details of her life are few. Aside from her autobiography, The President's Daughter, little evidence remains from her life and possible relationship with the nation's twenty-ninth president, Warren G. Harding. It was in Marion that Britton became enamored with Harding, who lived much of his adult life in the small town. In 1916, at the age of nineteen, Britton apparently began an affair with the married Senator Harding that continued through his presidency. Britton wrote The President's Daughter in 1927, four years after Harding's death. She asserted that Harding had fathered her daughter, Elizabeth Ann Christian, in 1919.
