About this ebook
The “entertaining and evocative” #1 New York Times bestseller, profiling extraordinary women from mother to mechanic and sister to soldier (The Hill).
This is a revised and expanded edition of legendary journalist Cokie Roberts’s collection of personal essays and biographical profiles, “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” (The Washington Post).
“A flock of fascinating women.” —Dallas Morning News
“Inspirational stories of women who have successfully nurtured their children while working outside the home. With humor, honesty, and optimism, [Roberts] provides perspective on this balancing act.” —Newsday
“Her subject matter intrigues for both her personal spin and the biographies of unusual and powerful women.” —Los Angeles Times
“Lively reading.” —USA Today
