Ladies of Liberty: The Women Who Shaped Our Nation by Cokie Roberts

3.0

If you're looking for in-depth historical analysis, look elsewhere. If you're looking to learn a bit about these ladies and this time period and be entertained at the same time, give this one a try. I've heard criticism that Roberts judges some of these people through modern eyes without giving a lot of thought to the prevailing views of the time, and I have to agree. However, when that happens it's obvious and the reader can draw their own conclusions easily enough.
I found this book to be a nice overview of the roles of some of the most influential women in America at the time. It lays a nice foundation for further research if you're so inclined.
I laughed and I learned as I listened to (narrated by the author). I definitely recommend it. 3 solid stars.
