When you're crowned Miss America, they put you up on a pedestal. People really look up to you and they think you're perfect. They ...think that you have everything that you've ever wanted or dreamed about in life.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
With the present wage conditions there are thousands of young women who are living in a state of semi-starvation and they are alwa...ys surrounded by the most terrible temptation. Oh, I know that some of [the] greatest reformers insist that a girl's virtue is not affected by under-nourishment, disease and nervous collapse; but if these well housed, well fed, well dressed people were put in a dirty, ugly room, if their clothes did not protect them from the cold, if their stomachs were never filled, would not even the staunchest lose some of her self-respect when looking forward to an old age? It is only a matter of wonder to me that so many girls keep clean and decent through it all.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Nothing changes my twenty-six years in the military. I continue to love it and everything it stands for and everything I was able ...to accomplish in it.

... the task of youth is not only its own salvation but the salvation of those against whom it rebels, but in that case there must... be something vital to rebel against and if the elderly stiffly refuse to put up a vigorous front of their own, it leaves the entire situation in a mist.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
I hope there will be no effort to put up a shaft or any monument of that sort in memory of me or of the other women who have given... themselves to our work. The best kind of a memorial would be a school where girls could be taught everything useful that would help them to earn an honorable livelihood; where they could learn to do anything they were capable of, just as boys can. I would like to have lived to see such a school as that in every great city of the United States.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
