Cornelia Bryce Pinchot (1881 - 1960)
The daughter of wealthy journalist and politician, Lloyd Bryce, Cornelia grew up in Victorian circles similar to those of the Pinchots. Known as "Leila" by family and friends, she was born in Newport, Rhode Island in 1881, educated in private schools and traveled frequently with her parents in Europe. Her great grandfather, Peter Cooper, founded Cooper Union, a free college of science and engineering in New York City. A natural born rebel, Cornelia had spirit, drive and independent means. Her friend Theodore Roosevelt called her political mind one of the keenest he had ever known. She was attractive, dressed in flamboyant clothes and dyed her hair red. Her crusading nature invaded the Progressive ranks in 1912 and later led to a political career of her own. She met Gifford Pinchot during the Bull Moose campaign and married him in 1914. Theodore Roosevelt attended the wedding.... Cornelia died in Washington, D.C. in 1960.
