In this evening focused on women’s and family history, Edward F. O’Keefe shines light on the women who “created” President Roosevelt—the impact and influence of, among others, his mother, sisters, and his wives.
The Loves of Theodore Roosevelt is based on dozens of interviews with descendants, thousands of archives, and new discoveries at Harvard University and Roosevelt’s home.
Following an illustrated presentation comprised of new and exclusive photographs, O’Keefe is in conversation with the Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Debby Applegate.
Presented by American Ancestors’ American Inspiration series in partnership with Ford Hall Forum at Suffolk University and GBH Forum Network.
EDWARD O’KEEFE is the CEO of the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library Foundation. He previously spent two decades in broadcast and digital media at ABC News, CNN, and NowThis.
Historian and biographer DEBBY APPLEGATE is the author of "Madam: The Biography of Polly Adler" and "The Most Famous Man in America: The Biography of Henry Ward Beecher" (2007 Pulitzer Prize).
