In Founding Mothers, New York Times bestselling author Cokie Roberts paid homage to the women who helped establish our nation. Its sequel, Ladies of Liberty, focuses on the women who helped define the country during the second half of the founding era, from 1796 to 1825. Roberts presents a colorful blend of biographical portraits and behind-the-scenes vignettes chronicling women's public roles and private responsibilities.
Roberts focuses on the many changes taking place in America at this time, as explorers and settlers moved to the West and South and the nation became more multi-cultural. Abigail Adams, Dolley Madison, Rebecca Gratz and Sacajawea are just a few of the figures profiled in this fascinating tribute to the women who contributed to the rise of a new nation. Cokie Roberts is a New York Times bestselling author, a political commentator for ABC News and a senior news analyst for National Public Radio. From 1996 to 2002, she and Sam Donaldson co-anchored the weekly ABC interview program This Week. Her books include This Day Forward (with her husband Steven V. Roberts), We Are Our Mothers' Daughters and Founding Mothers. The mother of two and grandmother of six, she lives with her husband in Bethesda, Maryland. "Roberts has uncovered hundreds of personal anecdotes and woven them together in a single, suspenseful narrative with great skill." - Washington Post Book WorldAll prices
