In her review of Stacey A. Cordery’s biography of Alice Roosevelt Longworth, Kathleen A. Dalton asserts that Cordery is too often uncritical of her subject, and Dalton highlights her differences with Cordery over Longworth’s relationships with, and treatment of, Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt and Eleanor Roosevelt. Dalton writes that as a biographer Cordery often accepts Longworth’s point of view, but Dalton believes that Cordery has written “the best biography ever” of Longworth, showing her to be a substantial figure who should be remembered for more than just her sharp tongue and reactionary politics.
A photograph of Longworth and a text box with the mission statement of the Theodore Roosevelt Association supplement the text.
