About this event:
Renowned journalist and political commentator Cokie Roberts appears in conversation with Elizabeth Brackett, discussing Roberts' book, We Are Our Mothers' Daughters. In this tenth anniversary edition, Roberts once again examines the nature of women's roles through the revealing lens of her personal experience. From mother to mechanic, sister to soldier, Roberts reveals how much progress has now been made - and how much further we have to go. Updated and expanded to include a diverse new cast of women, this collection of essays offers tremendous insight into the opportunities and challenges that women encounter today.
Elizabeth Brackett is a noted Chicago journalist and author of the recently published book Pay to Play: How Rod Blagojevich Turned Political Corruption into a Political Sideshow. Please join us for this dynamic pairing of minds!
Presented by the McCormick Freedom Museum and the Chicago Public Library.
