A group biography of four beloved women who fought sexism, covered decades of American news, and whose voices defined NPR.National BestsellerParticularly moving . . . Their solidarity was inspiring and sometimes intimidating . . . [Susan, Linda, Nina, and Cokie] offers a powerful lesson on what can happen when we carry as we climb.Washington Post, Best Nonfiction Book of the YearIn the years after the Civil Rights Act of 1964, women in the workplace still found themselves relegated to secretarial positions or locked out of jobs entirely. This was especially true in the news business, a backwater of male chauvinism where a woman might be lucky to get a foothold on the womens pages. But when a pioneering nonprofit called National Public Radio came along in the 1970s, and the door to serious journalism opened a crack, four remarkable women came along and blew it off the hinges.Susan, Linda, Nina, and Cokie is journalist Lisa Napolis captivating account of these four women, their deep and enduring friendships, and the trail they blazed to becoming icons. They had radically different stories. Cokie Roberts was born into a political dynasty, roamed the halls of Congress as a child, and felt a tug toward public service. Susan Stamberg, who had lived in India with her husband who worked for the State Department, was the first woman to anchor a nightly news program and pressed for accommodations to balance work and home life. Linda Wertheimer, the daughter of shopkeepers in New Mexico, fought her way to a scholarship and a spot onair. And Nina Totenberg, the networks legal affairs correspondent, invented a new way to cover the Supreme Court. Based on extensive interviews and calling on the authors deep connections in news and public radio, Susan, Linda, Nina, and Cokie will be as beguiling and sharp as its formidable subjects.
