Founding Mothers by Cokie Roberts

Founding Mothers: The Women Who Raised Our Nation shines a long-overdue spotlight on the remarkable women who shaped America’s earliest years.

In this engaging and meticulously researched work, Cokie Roberts reveals how women such as Abigail Adams, Martha Washington, Mercy Otis Warren, Eliza Lucas Pinckney, and Phillis Wheatley influenced the American Revolution and the founding of the United States.

While the Founding Fathers led armies and drafted documents, these women managed homes and businesses, raised future leaders, organized boycotts, wrote persuasive letters and political commentary, and helped shape the ideals of the new nation. Through vivid storytelling and personal correspondence, Roberts brings their voices and contributions to life.
