I do wish it was better written or at least better organized.

Most of the author’s asides and explanations were rather distracting, and it sometimes felt rambling and off-topic. Roberts’ conclusion was (interestingly) that the women behind those men were no more extraordinary than you and I: they simply did what was asked of them. She, too, had been tired of hearing about how remarkable the men were founded the country: what about the women? This, then, is full of some of their stories. In a conversational tone, Roberts shares some of the stories about the women who founded the country. But in all the nonfiction and fiction about the Revolutionary War, it’s rather limited to dead white guys who fought the battles and otherwise founded our nation.Įnter: Founding Mothers by Cokie Roberts.
