I cannot possibly do both.”—Theodore Roosevelt During Theodore Roosevelt’s presidency—from 1901 to 1909, when Mark Twain called him the most popular man in America—his daughter Alice Roosevelt mesmerized the world with her antics and beauty. Alice was known for carrying a gun, a copy of the Constitution, and a green snake in her purse. When her father told her she couldn’t smoke under his roof, she climbed to the top of the White House and smoked on the roof. She became the most famous woman in America—and even the world—predating Princess Diana and Jackie Kennedy as an object of public obsession. As her celebrity grew, she continued to buck tradition, push against social norms, and pull political sway behind the curtain of privilege and access. She was known for her acerbic wit and outspoken tendencies which hypnotized both the social and political world.

  • White House, Wild Child, The fascinating historical biography of America’s most memorable first daughter, Alice Roosevelt, whose free spiri
    Alice Roosevelt was just as strong-willed and outspoken as her father Theodore Roosevelt, who admitted even he could not control her. Alice Roosevelt Longworth — Teddy Roosevelt’s oldest child — was the most eccentric first daughter to ever enter the White House and became the strong-willed and unbridled face of the New Woman movement of the early 1900s. She danced on the rooftops of millionaires, wore a pet garter snake as an accessory, and needle-pointed “If you haven’t got anything nice to say about anyone, come and sit here by me” on a pillow in her home.

  • Superwoman no more with Christa Tharp- Author of "Ditch the F****KING CAPE
    As a Mompreneur with a super-sized family, Christa Tharp has has been frequently asked, “How do you do it all?” Often called a Superwoman and always feeling like that was a title she could never live up to. The Superwoman Complex is killing woman at a fast rate and Christa says we have to do something about it now before we pass it on to the next generation of women. It became clear over the past 10 years that women are completely sacrificing themselves in order to be caregivers for everyone else. That leaves them exhausted and susceptible to getting ill from stress. In fact, this has become so widespread and normalized, that women don’t even know how sick they really are. They just buck it up and always put themselves last. No more! It is time for women to wake up and realize they NEED to put themselves first, do self-care, love themselves and get healthy for those who love them. So, Christa decided it is time to come out and answer the question of “How do I do it?” with raw and transparent honesty in hopes it will shake her fellow females out of their zombie-like states and show them they can live their Blyss and live it unapologetically.

  • Ann Dousett Johnston, Author of Drink, Women's Intimate Relationship With Alcohol
    We live in a culture where the first question you're usually asked at an event is, "Red or white?" Carrie Bradshaw and her rounds of cosmopolitans and Bridget Jones with her glasses of chardonnay; female drinkers are funny. They suffer through hangovers, swear they are going to cut back but and then renege.But many women find that their drinking isn’t funny at all.  In the U.S. and Western Europe, growing numbers of women struggle with alcoholism; in some places, women's rates of alcohol abuse have achieved parity with men's. Ann Dowsett Johnston, the author of Drink, the Intimate Relationship Between Women and Alcohol, will be talking about what's driving the increase in female binge drinking and alcoholism. She is going to share with us what she's learned, from research and from her own alcoholism, about advertising, addiction and the challenges facing women who seek treatment. Ann is the winner of five National Magazine Awards, she previously investigated the connection between women and alcohol in a 14-part series she wrote for The Toronto Star.
