“[A] paean to feminism and the solidarity of womenkind. . . . This book is a celebration of women in their various roles: mother, sister, civil rights advocate, consumer advocate, first-class mechanic, politician—which Roberts’ own mother once was.”
—Washington Post

“The perfect combination of powerful feelings and a modulated style.”
— Los Angeles Times

From the much beloved Cokie Roberts comes a revised and expanded tenth-anniversary paperback edition of the #1 New York Times Bestseller We Are Our Mothers’ Daughters—complete with new profiles.

A fascinating life

Even though I have known her from TV news and NPR, I didn’t realize what an amazing family from which she came.

A must read or “listen” for all women and girls!!

Lindy Boggs, Cokies’s mother spoke at my Newcomb College graduation back in 1991. Her words were inspiring and heartfelt- especially the advice regarding family and work balance. Many years later, I have made a point to read everything I could from the women of this special family. After Cokie’s passing, I decided to co-listen to this book with my ten and twelve year old daughters and it has given us hours of fascinating discussion and words of wisdom. God bless you Cokie, you are such a blessing for our country.

high marks

I still love hearing Cokie's voice. always a voice of reason.
Great content and sensitivity to all women.

Cokie Roberts Delivers a Great Perspective

I grew up always pausing to watch or listen when I heard Cokie's voice, considering her objective, determined, inquisitive, and the model of wit & poise while never losing her relatability or sense of humor. I found her personal take on the "role of a woman" intriguing... how we are so similar despite our outrageously differentiated circumstances. A great listen. Thought provoking.

What a treat!

I grew up listening to Cokie Roberts, and to hear all her stories, and the personal side of her experience was truly a treat.
