Letter from Ruth Whitman Heywood Sears to Theodore Roosevelt
Ruth Heywood Whitman Sears agrees with Theodore Roosevelt’s views on the family. However, Sears is troubled by his “tepidity” regarding women’s suffrage. She argues it is “a duty to share the responsibilities of citizenship.” The issue is to be submitted for a vote in California. While Roosevelt is in California, Sears requests Roosevelt state, in his “own forceful way,” his reasons for voting in favor of suffrage.
