First Mothers

ebook

In this highly acclaimed book, Bonnie Angelo celebrates a group of remarkable women who played a pivotal role in developing the characters of the modern American presidents — their mothers. Angelo, a veteran reporter and writer for TIME magazine, explores the lives, thoughts and feelings of these women who so influenced the twentieth century's most powerful leaders.

From the aristocratic and formidable Sara Delano Roosevelt to diehard Democrat Martha Truman, from stoic Hannah Milhous Nixon to the hard-living Virginia Clinton Kelly, First Mothers is an in-depth look at the special mother-son relationship that has nurtured America's presidents and helped them to achieve great things.

A veteran correspondent at TIME magazine and the first woman to head a TIME foreign bureau, Bonnie Angelo has reported on the White House and presidential families throughout eight administrations. As a Washington correspondent and bureau chief in London and New York, she has covered newsmakers and major events in all fifty states and around the world.

"A fascinating book, gracefully written ... gives the reader fresh insights into how the characters and values of our recent presidents were shaped." — Washington Post Book World
