We Are Our Mouthers' Daughters

Link Cokie takes a look into the life of women in the home and work, through out the span of America. She gives candid stories about herself and her family to illustrate the importance women have had in the world, politically and on a home level.

I really like how Ms Roberts tells stories from her highly political and public life; she gives points from history and politics with out making it an overly political book. She tells the reader how important some women's roles have been in the development of this country and great companies.

Also giving examples of how women can juggle the home and work if need (or want) be, she points out that women should band together and not judge each other. Women have been doing great things in all three arenas of life and that together we are better than alone. Giving eye-opening facts about women's rights over the years I felt she was showing not only how far we've come but how hard and far we still have to work to stay were we are and farther ourselves even more.

Cokie's main message (at least to me) was that women are great at no matter what they do. We should stop giving each other guilt trips and start helping each other out. We are our mothers' daughters; we learned from our moms, they learned from theirs, and ours will learn from us. We should teach future women to be secure in themselves and their decisions, after all "Women are tough, we've managed to keep all the balls in the air for a very long time".
