"A beautiful and brave story of strong women, fierce mothering, and the power of continued evolution."--Michelle Obama


"A fascinating memoir of Tina Knowles's journey to become the global figure she is today."--Oprah Winfrey

"Told in rich color with flourishes so detailed . . . they conjure a fully realized world the reader can inhabit."--The Washington Post

Here is a page-turning chronicle of family love and heartbreak, loss and perseverance, and the kind of creativity, audacity, and will it takes for a girl from Galveston to change the world. Matriarch is one brilliant woman's intimate and revealing story, and a multigenerational family saga that carries within it the story of America--and the wisdom that women pass on to each other, mothers to daughters, across generations.
