The Matriarch: Barbara Bush and the Making of an American Dynasty
Autor Susan Pageen Limba Engleză Hardback – apr 2019
Barbara
Pierce
Bush
was
one
of
the
country's
most
popular
and
powerful
figures,
yet
her
full
story
has
never
been
told.
THE
MATRIARCH
tells
the
riveting
tale
of
a
woman
who
helped
define
two
American
presidencies
and
an
entire
political
era.
Written
by
USA
TODAY's
Washington
Bureau
chief
Susan
Page,
this
biography
is
informed
by
more
than
one
hundred
interviews
with
Bush
friends
and
family
members,
hours
of
conversation
with
Mrs.
Bush
herself
in
the
final
six
months
of
her
life,
and
access
to
her
diaries
that
spanned
decades.
THE
MATRIARCH
examines
not
only
her
public
persona
but
also
less
well-known
aspects
of
her
remarkable
life.
As
a
girl
in
Rye,
New
York,
Barbara
Bush
weathered
criticism
of
her
weight
from
her
mother,
barbs
that
left
lifelong
scars.
As
a
young
wife,
she
coped
with
the
death
of
her
three-year-old
daughter
from
leukemia,
a
loss
that
changed
her
forever.
In
middle
age,
she
grappled
with
depression
so
serious
that
she
contemplated
suicide.
And
as
first
the
wife
and
then
the
mother
of
American
presidents,
she
made
history
as
the
only
woman
to
see
--
and
advise
--
both
her
husband
and
son
in
the
Oval
Office.
As
with
many
women
of
her
era,
Barbara
Bush
was
routinely
underestimated,
her
contributions
often
neither
recognized
nor
acknowledged.
But
she
became
an
astute
and
trusted
political
campaign
strategist
and
a
beloved
First
Lady.
She
invested
herself
deeply
in
expanding
literacy
programs
in
America,
played
a
critical
role
in
the
end
of
the
Cold
War,
and
led
the
way
in
demonstrating
love
and
compassion
to
those
with
HIV/AIDS.
With
her
cooperation,
this
book
offers
Barbara
Bush's
last
words
for
history
--
on
the
evolution
of
her
party,
on
the
role
of
women,
on
Donald
Trump,
and
on
her
family's
legacy.
Barbara
Bush's
accomplishments,
struggles,
and
contributions
are
many.
Now,
Susan
Page
explores
them
all
in
THE
MATRIARCH,
a
groundbreaking
book
certain
to
cement
Barbara
Bush
as
one
of
the
most
unique
and
influential
women
in
American
history.
