What to do about Alice?: how Alice Roosevelt broke the rules, charmed the world, and drove her father Teddy crazy!.   Kerley, Barbara
About this book     Check availability
Why do we love Alice Roosevelt? As daughter of Teddy Roosevelt, she was a celebrity before Hollywood and sports idols. She had a wild streak in her that captured the nation's imagination, and drove her father crazy. She was ahead of her time when it came to a woman's involvement in the affairs of the world: the list goes on. I particularly like that she educated herself in her own unorthodox way. This book is a colorful informative introduction to her fascinating life. DW
