Roberts is also the author of “We Are Our Mothers’ Daughters,” published in 1998, and two books about the role of women in the nation’s founding: “Founding Mothers,” published in 2004, and “Ladies of Liberty,” published in 2008.
A native of New Orleans, Roberts is the daughter of the late Hale Boggs, who served as U.S. House majority leader. Roberts’ mother, Lindy Boggs, was elected to Congress in 1973, following her husband’s death, and served until 1991.
