...Drawing on newspaper articles, government records, and private letters and diaries, many never before published, "Capital Dames" introduces the resilient and remarkable women of Washington... In this compelling story of a Southern society town's transformation into a center of national power, Roberts shows us how the Capital City spread its influence as a result of the [Civil] War and how the women who had once been self-described "belles" evolved into purposeful activists, writers, and organizers, changing forever the role of women in American society. - Capital Dames (back cover)
"Cokie Roberts regularly dissects the power dynamics of modern-day Washington. As an author, though, she's demonstrated a special regard for the farther reaches of American history and it's behind-the-scenes players." - New York Times Book Review
"Roberts is a gifted narrator of Civil War history, weaving the experiences and perspectives of the women into a fresh and illuminating account of key battles and events." - Washington Post
Cokie Roberts is a political commentator for NPR and ABC News. She has won countless awards and in 2008 was named a "Living Legend" by the Library of Congress.
