Florence Rich recently read Theodore Roosevelt’s preface to The Woman Who Toils by Mrs. John Van Vorst and Marie Van Vorst. She sends him a typed copy of a recent article from the Columbus Medical Journal titled “Some Thoughts on Race Suicide” as she finds it to be a good counterargument to Roosevelt’s position regarding childless women.
