In celebration of Women's History Month, the TR Site invites you to learn more about Alice Roosevelt Longworth. Known for stretching the limits of propriety even before her 1906 wedding, Alice continued to raise eyebrows and was a fixture in Washington society until her death in 1980.
Dr. Cordery, who has been given unprecedented access to provate family papers, will illustrate her talk with rarely seen photographs.
