The
extraordinary life and legacy of legendary journalist Cokie Roberts--a trailblazer
for women--remembered by her friends and family.
Through
her visibility and celebrity, Cokie Roberts was an inspiration and a role model
for innumerable women and girls. A fixture on national television and radio for
more than 40 years, she also wrote five bestselling books focusing on the role
of women in American history. She was portrayed on Saturday
Night Live, name checked on the West Wing, and featured on magazine
covers. She joked with Jay Leno, balanced a pencil on her nose for David
Letterman, and was the answer to numerous crossword puzzle clues. Many dogs,
and at least one dairy cow, were named for her. When the legendary 1980s Spy
Magazine ran a diagram documenting all her connections with the
headline "Cokie Roberts - Moderately Well-Known Broadcast Journalist or Center
of the Universe?" they were only half-joking.
Cokie
had many roles in her lifetime: Daughter. Wife. Mother. Journalist. Advocate. Historian.
Reflecting on her life, those closest to her remember her impressive mind,
impish wit, infectious laugh, and the tenacity that sent her career
skyrocketing through glass ceilings at NPR and ABC. They marvel at how she
often put others before herself and cared deeply about the world around her. When faced with
daily decisions and dilemmas, many still ask themselves the question, 'What
Would Cokie Do?'
In this
loving tribute, Cokie's husband of 53 years and bestselling-coauthor Steve
Roberts reflects not only on her many accomplishments, but on how she lived
each day with a devotion to helping others. For Steve, Cokie's private life was
as significant and inspirational as her public one. Her commitment to
celebrating and supporting other women was evident in everything she did, and
her generosity and passion drove her personal and professional endeavors.
In Cokie, he has a simple goal: "To tell stories. Some will
make you cheer or laugh or cry. And some, I hope, will inspire you to be more like
Cokie, to be a good person, to lead a good life."
