Alice Lee Roosevelt Longworth (February 12, 1884 – February 20, 1980) was an American writer and socialite. She was the eldest child of U.S. president Theodore Roosevelt and his only child with his first wife, Alice Hathaway Lee Roosevelt. Longworth led an unconventional and controversial life.

Romaine Brooks (1874-1970) "Una, Lady Troubridge" (1924) Oil on canvas Located in the Smithsonian American Art Museum, Washington DC, United States Una Troubridge was a British aristocrat, literary translator, and the lover of Radclyffe Hall, author of the 1928 groundbreaking lesbian novel, "The Well of Loneliness." Troubridge appears with a sense of formality and importance typical of upper-class portraiture, but with the sitter's prized dachshunds in place of the traditional hunting dog. Troubridge's impeccably tailored clothing, cravat, and bobbed hair convey the fashionable and daring androgyny associated with the so-called new woman. Her monocle suggested multiple symbolic associations to contemporary British audiences: it alluded to Troubridge's upper-class status, her Englishness, her sense of rebellion, and possibly her lesbian identity.
