Ladies of Liberty: The Women Who Shaped Our Nation

I am just now reading this book. Although I don't usually like historical books, this one is very interesting. We don't get enough on women in our country, what they've done or tried to do. I recommend this book.

This is a great read, in large part because the story is told from a perspective that was ignored in the history classes I was exposed to. The women who lived during this period in our country's history were historians in their own right - recording history, and their thoughts on those events, in letters that luckily survived to this day. Cokie Roberts has a writing style that is easy and engaging and keeps the reader wanting to know more. This is the most enjoyable book devoted to history that I've ever read. Well done!

The book itself was very well written and infomative. It gave a lot of due credit to first ladies that the public has never known. However, you sent me two copies--and charged me for both--when I had ordered only one. When I tried to follow your directions about returning the extra copy, I got into an e-mail tangle and gave up. However, the book has been mailed back to you. Hopefully, the matter has been properly taken care of and the extra cost has been refunded.

Cokie Roberts is a wonderful writer, always showing insights in her characters that make them more real than history paints them. Her writing moves right along and holds your interest. I always look forward to her books.

Cokie Roberts is a brilliant person. This book, however, appears to have been written with the leftovers from her previous work, Founding Mothers: The Women Who Raised Our Nation, which is vastly better.
