Founding Mothers

by Cokie Roberts

From renowned New York Times bestselling author Cokie Roberts, 'Founding Mothers' offers an intimate and revealing look at the fervently patriotic and dedicated women who tirelessly supported their families and country, proving their contributions were as vital to the new nation's formation as the rebellion itself.

While history has focused on the men who signed the Declaration, fought the British, and shaped the Constitution, these women, like Abigail Adams, Mercy Otis Warren, and Martha Washington, fought the Revolution, defended their homes, and left behind compelling stories that demonstrate their indispensable role in the new country's survival.
