Product Details

The story of the American Revolution is usually told through the men whose names became famous, but Founding Mothers turns the spotlight toward the women whose lives, labor, sacrifice, and influence helped sustain the new nation. Cokie Roberts brings together the stories of figures such as Abigail Adams, Martha Washington, Mercy Otis Warren, and many others, showing how women participated in wartime, politics, family life, diplomacy, and the shaping of the early republic. This is a 2004 first edition hardcover from William Morrow, complete with dust jacket. It’s an accessible, narrative-driven history with photographs, portraits, notes, and a broad cast of historical women, making it a strong pick for readers interested in the American Revolution, women’s history, and the Founding era.
