Ink name on front endpaper. 2007 Hard Cover. xiv, 590 pp. From the moment Teddy Roosevelt's outrageous and charming teenage daughter strode into the White Houseâcarrying a snake and dangling a cigaretteâthe outspoken Alice began to put her imprint on the whole of the twentieth-century political scene. Her barbed tongue was as infamous as her scandalous personal life, but whenever she talked, powerful people listened, and she reigned for eight decades as the social doyenne in a town where socializing was state business.
