Summary: Alice Roosevelt Longworth, President Theodore Roosevelt’s eldest daughter, lived her entire life on the political stage and in the public eye, earning her the nickname “the other Washington monument.” Alice was literally a legend in her own time and is remembered today for her influence on public policy and her acerbic tongue. The National Constitution Center welcomes historian Stacy Cordery to discuss her intelligent new biography "Alice: Alice Roosevelt Longworth, from White House Princess to Washington Power Broker," and the uniquely American institution of the first family.
