She was also a political strategist, a comfort to wounded soldiers, a supporter of emancipation, the first to be called First Lady, and a wife and mother who survived the loss of three children and the assassination of her beloved husband. Intelligent and unconventional–and, some thought, mad–she held séances in the White House, ran her family into debt with compulsive shopping, negotiated with conniving politicians, and raised her young sons during the Civil War. From her tempestuous childhood in a slaveholding Southern family through the opium clouded years after her husband’s death, we are let into the inner, intimate world of this brave and fascinating woman. ![]() Writing from Bellevue asylum–where the shrieks of the other inmates keep her awake at night–a famous widow finally shares the story of her life in her own words.

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() We were activists who didn’t necessarily know it all the time. It wasn’t just about me, it was about that little girl or boy in the stands. There was so much purpose inside what I was doing. How do you feel?Ībby Wambach: You know, I was so nervous about retiring from soccer. Vanity Fair: It’s been a year since you launched your podcast, We Can Do Hard Things. They also give a glimpse at one of their upcoming projects: the TV adaptation of Doyle’s novel Untamed. Vanity Fair chatted with the duo about the show’s evolution, vulnerability, and systemic oppression. In it, Doyle, Wambach, and Doyle’s sister Amanda (known as “Sister”) bring on guests like ALOK, Chanel Miller, Megan Rapinoe, Gabrielle Union, and Tarana Burke to tackle stories of identity, activism, sex, navigating trauma, and everything in between. Wednesday marks one year since that devotion fueled the launch of their podcast, We Can Do Hard Things. Whether they’re discussing the intentional, politically driven design of separating queer existence from faith or reflecting on the “radical” act of transparency that comes along with discussing mental health, these two-both as a couple and as individuals-are devoted to candid, collective, and just storytelling. Sitting down with Glennon Doyle and Abby Wambach feels like taking a deep breath. ![]() ![]() The cover is attractive and intrigued me. Really where will I go if something like this happened?
