Theodore Roosevelt, two years younger than Wilson, wrote his Harvard senior thesis in favor of women’s equality, including the right to vote, and urged gradual expansion of suffrage for women when he was New York governor—winning plaudits from Susan B. Anthony in the process. Pictured here as president in 1907, he remained friendly with NAWSA while in the White House, but fell short of endorsing the Anthony Amendment. In 1912, running against both Wilson and Taft, he distinguished himself by making the Anthony Amendment a pillar of his campaign.
