“She eventually has a long term affair with a Senator and, by the way, there is some Senate versus House of Representatives rivalry between her and her husband, he's in the House and her new paramour is in the Senate, which is considered to be better."
Alice Roosevelt Longworth's story is fascinating. She was a rebellious teenager living in the White House while her father, Teddy Roosevelt, served as President. She was the wife of a Congressman, mistress to another. Alice was a staple in Washington DC politics and society - the "Other Washington Monument." Join Rebecca, Becca and Canden this week to talk about her life and where you can find her stories in DC.
