The book and play became a focus for efforts for charitable work and reform; "Daddy-Long-Legs" dolls were sold to raise money to fund the adoption of orphans into families. Webster's success was overshadowed by the battle of her college friend, Adelaide Crapsey, with tuberculosis , leading to Crapsey's death in October They honeymooned at McKinney's camp near Quebec City , Canada and were visited by former president Theodore Roosevelt , [4] who invited himself, saying: We can put up a partition in the cabin.

Jean Webster was active political and socially, and often included issues of socio-political interest in her books. The eugenics movement was a hot topic when Jean Webster was writing her novels. In particular, Richard L. Dugdale 's book about the Juke family as well as Henry Goddard 's study of the Kallikak family were widely read at the time. Webster's Dear Enemy mentions and summarizes the books approvingly, to some degree, although her protagonist, Sallie McBride, ultimately declares that she doesn't "believe that there's one thing in heredity," provided children are raised in a nurturing environment.
Nevertheless, eugenics as an idea of 'scientific truth'— generally accepted by the intelligentsia of the time— does come through in the novel. From her college years, Webster was involved in reform movements, and was a member of the State Charities Aid association, including visiting orphanages, fundraising for dependent children and arranging for adoptions. In Dear Enemy she names as a model the Pleasantville Cottage School , a cottage-based orphanage that Webster had visited. Jean Webster supported women's suffrage and education for women.
She participated in marches in support of votes for women, and having benefited from her education at Vassar, she remained actively involved with the college. Her novels also promoted the idea of education for women, and her major characters explicitly supported women's suffrage.
