Best-selling author, NPR
senior news analyst and ABC News political commentator Cokie Roberts returns to
the Constitution Center to discuss the lives and times of the incredible
American women who fought for liberty and change, from abolitionists to suffragists to educational reformers, and who helped forge the character of our
nation.
In
Founding Mothers, Cokie Roberts paid
homage to the women who helped establish our nation. In Ladies of Liberty, she continues the
story of more remarkable women and their achievements in moving the fledgling
nation forward, from the election of John Adams in 1796 to the election of
Andrew Jackson in 1828. Roberts
reveals the often surprising and compelling stories of determined and passionate
women who courageously faced the challenges of the times and laid the groundwork
for a better society. Cokie Roberts returns to the National Constitution Center, reminding us of the strong and
influential women who shaped our nation’s path and
history.
