Cokie Roberts
Roberts reveals the often surprising stories of these fascinating women, bringing to life the everyday trials of individuals like Abigail Adams, Mercy Otis Warren, Eliza Pinckney, Mary Bartlett, and Martha Washington, proving that without our exemplary women, the new country might have never survived.
Social history at its best, Founding Mothers unveils the determination, creative insight, and passion of the other patriots, the women who raised our nation. Cokie Roberts proves beyond doubt that like every generation of American women that has followed, the founding mothers used the unique gifts of their gender (courage, pluck, sadness, joy, energy, grace, sensitivity, and humor) to do what women do best, put one foot in front of the other in remarkable circumstances, and carry on.

Reseñas de la Crítica
"Roberts's style is delightfully intimate and confiding....In addition to telling wonderful stories, Roberts also presents a very readable, serviceable account of politics (male and female) in early America. If only our standard history textbooks were written with such flair!" (Publishers Weekly)
"Roberts offers a much-needed look at the unheralded sacrifices and heroism of colonial women." (Booklist)
"She [Roberts] creates a strong, though perhaps overstated, case that without the patriotism of women on the home front, the Colonies would have lost the Revolutionary War....A series of entertaining minibiographies and engaging vignettes." (The New York Times Book Review)

The non fiction book is about how the women who played a very important support staff to the soldiers, the members of Congress and the signers of the Declaration of Independence. These women ran the family, businesses, the farms, plantations, organized women guild to raise money or make clothing for the soldiers.
These same women would then leave home in winter to spend it with their husbands in the camps only to leave pregnant.
These same women would have their homes bombed, seized, searched and hide what they can from the British.
Cokie Roberts was the narrator on her own book and felt it necessary to slightly chuckle at her own jokes. (Not funny. Please let me decide).
The story was interesting as long as Ms Roberts kept it to the women and something new that most wouldn’t people didn’t know. The last 1/3 of the book, I felt was an abridged portion of my high school text book, and slowed the book down to a crawl.
Runs slow
