Lillian Rogers Parks

Lillian Rogers Parks (February 1, 1897 – November 6, 1997) was an American maid and seamstress in the White House. With the journalist Frances Spatz Leighton, co-author of a number of White House memoirs, Parks published "My Thirty Years Backstairs at the White House." The book covers a 60 year period in the life of domestic staff in the White House. It reports Parks's experiences as a seamstress, and those of her mother, 'Maggie' Rogers, who served as a maid for thirty years.
She also published "The Roosevelts: A Family in Turmoil" in 1981 in collaboration with Frances Spatz-Leighton.
