high marks

I still love hearing Cokie's voice. always a voice of reason.
Great content and sensitivity to all women.

A fascinating life

Even though I have known her from TV news and NPR, I didn’t realize what an amazing family from which she came.

A must read or “listen” for all women and girls!!

Lindy Boggs, Cokies’s mother spoke at my Newcomb College graduation back in 1991. Her words were inspiring and heartfelt- especially the advice regarding family and work balance. Many years later, I have made a point to read everything I could from the women of this special family. After Cokie’s passing, I decided to co-listen to this book with my ten and twelve year old daughters and it has given us hours of fascinating discussion and words of wisdom. God bless you Cokie, you are such a blessing for our country.

Cokie Roberts Delivers a Great Perspective

I grew up always pausing to watch or listen when I heard Cokie's voice, considering her objective, determined, inquisitive, and the model of wit & poise while never losing her relatability or sense of humor. I found her personal take on the "role of a woman" intriguing... how we are so similar despite our outrageously differentiated circumstances. A great listen. Thought provoking.

What a treat!

I grew up listening to Cokie Roberts, and to hear all her stories, and the personal side of her experience was truly a treat.

A Truly Genuine Person

An excellent story teller. She did her research and reported it well. She’s an excellent reader as well. I was very saddened by her death.

A Gem!

Excellent! I very much enjoyed this book. I’ve always been a fan of Cokie and miss her reasonable insights and observations.

Important listen

An important listen for everyone concerned about the future, to learn from the past and how to improve

Great book that stands the test of time

I enjoyed listening to this book while I walked. Reminds me to be kind to other women and ask questions without judgement about how they made it to where they are today.
