Reader recommendation: Alice

Favorite picks by Monitor readers.

Alice: Alice Roosevelt Longworth, from White House Princess, to Washington Power Broker by Stacy A. Cordery is the riveting story of Theodore Roosevelt's first born daughter who, in his opinion, if she have been born male, clearly would have followed in his Presidential footsteps to the White House. Flowing along fast, this book reveals the complex, sad, sometimes bitterly disappointing life of this brilliant, challenged, rapier-witted, and often poison-tongued woman, especially in her undisguised dislike for her relatives, the "other" Roosevelts.

Why is Christian Science in our name?

Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The Christian Science Church, and we’ve always been transparent about that.

The Church publishes the Monitor because it sees good journalism as vital to progress in the world. Since 1908, we’ve aimed “to injure no man, but to bless all mankind,” as our founder, Mary Baker Eddy, put it.

Here, you’ll find award-winning journalism not driven by commercial influences – a news organization that takes seriously its mission to uplift the world by seeking solutions and finding reasons for credible hope.
