About the author
Born in New York City in 1861, Corinne Roosevelt Robinson was an American poet, writer, and lecturer. She was the youngest sister of Theodore Roosevelt, but she was more than a notable relative: she published poetry and prose, spoke widely in public, and became known for her own voice in literary and political circles.
She married Douglas Robinson in 1883 and remained active in public life for decades. Along with her writing, she lectured and took part in Republican politics, even addressing the Republican National Convention in 1920 — a milestone for a woman of her era.
Robinson died in 1933. Today she is remembered both for her place in the Roosevelt family and for the career she shaped as an author and speaker in her own right.
