"This collection succeeds in emphasizing that many unsung women
left their mark well before the suffrage movement." --Publishers
Weekly Fans of #1 New York Times bestselling author Cokie Roberts,
who was also a celebrated journalist for ABC and NPR, will love
this stunning nonfiction picture book, as will parents and
educators looking for a more in-depth book beyond the Rosie Revere
and Rad Women series. Highlighting the female explorers, educators,
writers, and political and social activists that shaped our
nation's early history, this is the stunning follow-up to the
acclaimed children's book Founding Mothers. Beautifully illustrated
by Caldecott Honor-winning artist Diane Goode, Ladies of Liberty
pays homage to a diverse selection of ten remarkable women who have
shaped the United States, covering the period 1776 to 1824. Drawing
on personal correspondence and private journals, Cokie Roberts
brings to life the extraordinary accomplishments of these women who
created the framework for our current society, a generation of
reformers and visionaries. Roberts features a cast of courageous
heroines that includes African American poet Lucy Terry Prince,
Native American explorer Sacagawea, first lady Louisa Catherine
Adams, Judith Sargent Murray, Isabella Graham, Martha Jefferson
Randolph, Elizabeth Bayley Seton, Louise D'Avezac Livingston,
Rebecca Gratz, and Elizabeth Kortright Monroe. This compelling book
offers a rich timeline, biographies, and an author note, bringing
these dynamic ladies to life. --Publishers Weekly
