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).

“Lively reading.” —USA Today
