Founding Mothers Audiobook (Free)

Cokie Roberts’s #1 New York Occasions bestseller We Are Our Mothers Daughters examined the type of women’s tasks throughout history and led USA Today to compliment her like a ‘custodian of time-honored values.’ Her second bestseller, OUT OF THIS Day Forwards, written with her spouse, Steve Roberts, referred to American marriages throughout history. Now Cokie returns with Founding Mothers, an intimate look at the passionate females whose tireless pursuits with respect to their families and nation proved just as about Founding Mothers imperative to the forging of a fresh nation as the rebellion that founded it.

Roberts reveals the often surprising tales of these fascinating women, getting 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, innovative insight and passion of the other patriots, the women who raised our nation. Cokie Roberts shows certainly that like every generation of American females that has adopted, the founding mothers used the initial gifts of their gender — courage, pluck, sadness, pleasure, energy, grace, sensitivity and humor — to do what women do best, put one foot before the other in remarkable circumstances, and keep on.
