The Kennedy Women: The Saga of an American Family

The Kennedy Women: Five Generations of Power, Influence, and Betrayal is a captivating and intimate portrayal of the women behind one of America's most iconic political dynasties.

Through unprecedented cooperation with the Kennedy family and associates, author Laurence Leamer paints vivid and in-depth portraits of the mothers, wives, sisters, and daughters who struggled to build and maintain the Kennedy legacy.

From Bridget Murphy, an Irish immigrant who met her husband on a boat journey to America, to Rose Kennedy, whose emotions were rigidly controlled by the Roman Catholic Church, this book offers a poignant and revealing look at the women behind the men who shaped American history.

With photographs and a minidocudrama airing in October, The Kennedy Women is a must-read for anyone interested in the inner workings of one of America's most powerful political families.
