Notes
Abstract: Like most youngsters, Alice Mary Robertson, Oklahoma's first woman representative in the United States Congress, learned much from her mother's example. Roberton's formative years and her beliefs about a "woman's place" have been neglected by historians. Deah Caldwell examines Robertson's attitudes toward suffrage, feminism, and women at home and in politics.
