Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Amelia Glover
President Roosevelt tells Amelia Glover her contention that he treats women poorly is incorrect and wishes Glover and the writer of the clipping she enclosed—Lula McClure Clark—would read Unleavened Bread by Robert Grant. The heroine, Selma, is the type of woman produced by writings like Clark’s letter to the newspaper, and Roosevelt believes it is a “contemptible ideal.”
