Susan, Linda, Nina & Cokie: The Extraordinary Story… par Lisa Napoli
Disappointing. Felt very superficial as if the author had never actually talked to any of subjects. The most engaging portion was the second half talking about NPR itself and how it survived its financial crisis in the mid-eighties (the subjects were only peripherally involved). It was also odd how many pages were devoted to discussing their parents, dating and marriage histories given the subject where breaking the broadcasting glass ceiling.
This is both a group biography of the four woman, Susan Stamberg, Linda Wertheimer, Nina Totenberg, and Cokie Roberts who were at the creation of NPR radio and covered decades of world and American news. It is also the story of how women fought sexism to earn their rightful place in the working world and the story of friendship and women helping one another to succeed.
It’s hard to believe that so much has changed in fifty years, but I’m awfully glad that it did.

I've long enjoyed listening to NPR and also enjoyed reading this look at the "founding mothers" of NPR, namely Susan Stamberg, Linda Wertheimer, Nina Totenberg, and Cokie Roberts.
This was a very informative book as to how these women got their start in the business. The author tied their stories in well with the times and efforts to advance womens' equality.
My only gripe is that this book seemed to jump around quite a bit. Nonetheless, I enjoyed it and would recommend it.
