ALICE ROOSEVELT WAS HARDCORE. “She was known as a rule-breaker in an era when women were under great pressure to conform. The American public noticed many of her exploits. She smoked cigarettes in public, swore at officials, rode in cars with men, stayed out late partying, kept a pet snake named Emily Spinach (Emily as in her spinster aunt and Spinach for its green color) in the White House, and was seen placing bets with a bookie. 

There’s also this: “During the cruise to Japan, she made a splash by jumping into the ship’s pool fully clothed, and coaxed a congressman to join her in the water. Years later Bobby Kennedy would chide Longworth about the incident, saying it was outrageous for the time, to which the by-then-octogenarian Longworth replied that it would only have been outrageous had she removed her clothes.”

Coolest First Daughter Ever.
