      abstract = {Alice Roosevelt Longworth lived her entire life on the  political stage and in the public eye, earning her the  nickname "the other Washington monument." Historian Cordery  presents a detailed and entertaining portrait of the witty  and whip-smart daughter of Teddy Roosevelt. "Princess  Alice" was a tempestuous teenager. Smoking, gambling, and  dressing flamboyantly, she flouted social conventions and  opened the door for other women to do the same. Her husband  was Speaker of the House Nicholas Longworth but--as Cordery  documents for the first time--she had a child with her  lover, Senator William Borah of Idaho. Alice's political  acumen was widely respected in Washington. She was a  sharp-tongued critic of her cousin FDR's New Deal programs,  and meetings in her drawing room helped to change the  course of history, from undermining the League of Nations  to boosting Nixon. During the Kennedy and Johnson  administrations, her legendary salons remained the center  of political ferment.--From publisher description.},
