Alice H. Chittenden writes to Theodore Roosevelt about his upcoming Carnegie Hall address on “The Conservation of the Lives of Women and Children.” She is opposed to the suffrage movement, which she knows Roosevelt supports, and wants to emphasize her believe that the conservation of women should be focused on improving economic conditions so that women need not work outside the home and can preserve their health and energy, subsequentially raising birth rates.
