Aloysius A. Norton contends that Theodore Roosevelt “was able to think as a man and as a woman” because he had a strong sense of intuition that he often used to make decisions. Norton argues that the intuitive sense is most often identified with women and with the right side of the brain, but Norton says that Roosevelt made use of both sides of his brain, and he cites writers and thinkers who have studied the topic as well as contemporaries of Roosevelt such as William Allen White.
