Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Jean Finot
Theodore Roosevelt “really values” Jean Finot’s new book, Problems of the Sexes, and comments that, although he believes there should be equality between men and women, he does not believe in “identity of function.” Along with the demand for women’s rights, there should be an insistence upon the “full performance” of women’s duties by women (and men’s duties by men).
