There’s even a story about her burning an effigy of the next First Lady on the White House lawn as her dad was leaving office. She was insanely independent and free willed, to the point where she once burst in on a Cabinet Meeting and after she left one of Teddy’s aides was like “could you maybe control her a little” and Teddy said “I can either run this country, or I can control Alice, I cannot do both”.

      Huh, I was thinking the same when I saw her - a whole episode COULD be done about her. But honestly, I’d rather have one of Teddy Roosevelt. Alice was a jerk and a self serving spoiled brat who liked to pee in the punch bowl (metaphorically speaking) to get attention. Nothing she did took effort or commitment to making someone else’s life better. She had fame, fortune and good looks yet she didn’t do or accomplish anything good and worthwhile. Just a few weeks ago I hiked through Teddy Roosevelt Natl. Park in ND and Yellowstone in Montana and really was feeling huge heaps of appreciation and respect for that TR. Teddy’s story is supposedly well known, but I don’t think well known enough and...it’s so fascinating, it never gets old.

      The Albanian Lorg i mean. Teddy did, ya know, heavily contribute to American neo-colonialism in some really horrible ways and Alice chose to not be very politically active. Probably because she was really annoyed by the political world, and how “noble” and genteel women in politics were meant to act. She seemed like the kind of person who hated being told that she couldn’t be herself, and i personally respect that a lot. And as funny and heroic as Teddy’s antic seem from a historical lens, i wonder how Alice reacted to times when her dad would blatantly risk his own life “for his country”. Like. Imagine knowing your dad was going to make a big political speech, learning he was shot at the beginning, and then continued giving the speech for another half hour. Having Teddy Roosevelt as a dad was probably stressful as hell, and I can completely understand not wanting to be a super public figure in politics after growing up like that.
