Alexandra Rimer, author of "Seduced by the Light: The Mina Miller Edison Story"

Author Alexandra Rimer discusses her recently published biography of Mina Miller Edison, the wife of Thomas Edison, and the woman who shaped the myth of one of the most seminal figures in America's history. Rimer’s unprecedented access to the Edison family diaries, memoirs, and letters, enabled her to look below the surface of the Edison family during the Gilded Age, from the perspective of this little-known female protagonist.
