Historian Cordery presents a detailed and entertaining portrait of the witty and whip-smart daughter of Teddy Roosevelt. "Princess Alice" was a tempestuous teenager. Smoking, gambling, and dressing flamboyantly, she flouted social conventions and opened the door for other women to do the same. Her husband was Speaker of the House Nicholas Longworth but--as Cordery documents for the first time--she had a child with her lover, Senator William Borah of Idaho. Alice's political acumen was widely respected in Washington. She was a sharp-tongued critic of her cousin FDR's New Deal programs, and meetings in her drawing room helped to change the course of history, from undermining the League of Nations to boosting Nixon. During the Kennedy and Johnson administrations, her legendary salons remained the center of political ferment.--From publisher description. 600 10 $a Longworth, Alice Roosevelt, $d 1884-1980. 650 0 $a Children of presidents $z United States $v Biography. 600 10 $a Roosevelt, Theodore, $d 1858-1919 $x Family. 856 41 $3 Table of contents only $u http://www.loc.gov/catdir/toc/ecip077/2006103087.html 856 42 $3 Contributor biographical information $u http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0804/2006103087-b.html 856 42 $3 Publisher description $u http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0804/2006103087-d.html 941 $a 31 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20240702021027.0 952 $l OZAX845 $d 20240525035740.0 952 $l GZPE631 $d 20240305024525.0 952 $l PQAX094 $d 20231214053526.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010013056.0 952 $l KAPF566 $d 20230331011701.0 952 $l WKPE185 $d 20230310011216.0 952 $l GKPC851 $d 20230228021256.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909015249.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20220302015648.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20211102014455.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722020027.0 952 $l MBPE423 $d 20201013050522.0 952 $l ULAX314 $d 20190926090929.0 952 $l RSPC135 $d 20180623052338.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20160202043106.0 952 $l EZPE755 $d 20151216014545.0 952 $l GFPE771 $d 20150911021941.0 952 $l FJPC224 $d 20150409040034.0 952 $l CQPE926 $d 20150404014630.0 952 $l CXPC586 $d 20150213023928.0 952 $l KJPF566 $d 20131206011736.0 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l OMAX631 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l SOAX911 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l UDAX314 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l WXPD305 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l OSAX771 $d 20090708133753.0 952 $l PHAX277 $d 20090708133753.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=51E0A3422B0F11DE8F715E08A8D7520A 994 $a 02 $b LJWInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
