==Personality and values==
Roosevelt is best known for his remarkable personality and commitment to democratic process. He was strongly committed to law and order, active leadership, civic duty, and individual self-responsibility. He was more concerned with the process of change than its direction. Roosevelt redefined American masculinity. He became a cowboy himself and the world soon identified America with cowboy values of courage and initiative, and hardihood in meeting outdoor challenges such as herding, hunting, and exploration. He strongly endorsed motherhood and criticized women who had careers and neglected motherhood. (Few Americans paid heed to his urgings that America needs a higher birth rate.)<ref> See "Theodore Roosevelt on Motherhood and the Welfare of the State," ''Population and Development Review,'' Vol. 13, No. 1 (Mar., 1987), pp. 141-147 [http://www.jstor.org/stable/1972126 online]</ref>
