Statement on the Passing of Cokie Roberts by Susan Whiting, Chair of the National Women’s History Museum Board of Directors
"We’re deeply saddened to learn of the passing of our dear friend, Cokie Roberts. Not only was Cokie a renowned journalist and an acclaimed author—with a host of prestigious awards and honors—she was a fierce champion for equality and worked tirelessly to ensure that women’s stories were told. We were so lucky to know her work and have her support."

If we want our girls to benefit from the courage and wisdom of the women before them, we have to share the stories.
