—Rheta Childe Dorr (1866–1948)
“If the national security is involved, anything goes. There are no rules. There are people so lacking in roots about what is proper and what is improper that they don’t know there’s anything wrong in breaking into the headquarters of the opposition party.”
—Helen Gahagan Douglas (1900–1980)
“it
was my first doll that water went
into and water came out of much

“Imagination is a valuable asset in business and she has a sister, Understanding, who also serves.

—Alice Foote MacDougall (1867–1945)
