Reprint of an article that originally appeared in Ms. Magazine in August 1976. Author Harriet Shapiro interviewed Theodore Roosevelt’s daughter Ethel Roosevelt Derby at her home in Oyster Bay, New York. Much of the piece is devoted to Ethel’s memories of life with her family at their family home Sagamore Hill. She relates how her parents, Theodore Roosevelt and Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt, dealt with the children, and she notes how the Roosevelt siblings paired off, and she talks of her relationship with her older sister Alice Roosevelt Longworth.
A familiar picture of the assembled Roosevelt family and a close-up of Ethel Roosevelt Derby accompany the article.
