Historia
The Goodwins’ last great adventure involved finally opening the more than three hundred boxes of letters, diaries, documents, and memorabilia that Dick had saved for more than fifty years. They soon realized they had before them an unparalleled personal time capsule of the 1960s, illuminating public and private moments of a decade when individuals were powered by the conviction they could make a difference; a time, like today, marked by struggles for racial and economic justice, a time when lines were drawn and loyalties tested.

Historia
If it weren’t for Emma Johnson, Caryn Johnson would have never become Whoopi Goldberg. Emma gave her children the loving care and wisdom they needed to succeed in life, always encouraging them to be true to themselves. When Whoopi lost her mother in 2010—and then her older brother, Clyde, five years later—she felt deeply alone; the only people who truly knew her were gone. Emma raised her children not just to survive, but to thrive. In this intimate and heartfelt memoir, Whoopi shares many of the deeply personal stories of their lives together for the first time.

Spanning the years of transition, 1944 to 1948, Ascent to Power illuminates Truman’s struggles to emerge as president in his own right. Yet, from a relatively unknown Missouri senator to the most powerful man on Earth, Truman’s legacy transcends. With his come-from-behind campaign in the fall of 1948, his courageous civil rights advocacy, and his role in liberating millions from militarist governments and brutal occupations, Truman’s decisions during these pivotal years changed the course of the world in ways so significant we live with them today.

Theodore Roosevelt wrote in his senior thesis for Harvard in 1880 that women ought to be paid equal to men and have the option of keeping their maiden names upon marriage. It’s little surprise he’d be a feminist, given the women he grew up with. A dazzling and lyrical look at one America’s most significant presidents as we’ve never seen him before, The Loves of Theodore Roosevelt celebrates five extraordinary yet unsung women who opened the door to the American Century and pushed Theodore Roosevelt through it.

Resumen del Editor
The definitive biography of the most successful female broadcaster of all time—Barbara Walters—a woman whose personal demons fueled an ambition that broke all the rules and finally gave women a permanent place on the air, written by bestselling author Susan Page.
Barbara Walters was a force from the time TV was exploding on the American scene in the 1960s to its waning dominance in a new world of competition from streaming services and social media half a century later. She was not just a groundbreaker for women (Oprah announced when she was seventeen that she wanted to be Barbara Walters), but also expanded the big TV interview and then dominated the genre. By the end of her career, she had interviewed more of the famous and infamous, from presidents to movie stars to criminals to despots, than any other journalist in history. Then at sixty-seven, past the age many female broadcasters found themselves involuntarily retired, she pioneered a new form of talk TV called The View. She is on the short list of those who have left the biggest imprints on television news and on our culture, male or female. So, who was the woman behind the legacy?
In The Rulebreaker, Susan Page conducts 150 interviews and extensive archival research to discover that Walters was driven to keep herself and her family afloat after her mercurial and famous impresario father attempted suicide. But she never lost the fear of an impending catastrophe, which is what led her to ask for things no woman had ever asked for before, to ignore the rules of misogynistic culture, to outcompete her most ferocious competitors, and to protect her complicated marriages and love life from scrutiny.
Page breaks news on every front—from the daring things Walters did to become the woman who reinvented the TV interview to the secrets she kept until her death. This is the eye-opening account of the woman who knew she had to break all the rules so she could break all the rules about what viewers deserved to know.

This book is so well researched and captivating that I wish it didn’t end. Barbara Walters life is really a chronicle of the 20th century and she interviewed most every important person that made the 20th century what it was… Along the way shattering glass ceilings and redefining tv. . She was the first superstar journalist - she changed news and celebrity She was of her time and ahead of her time. This book tells the story brilliantly.

An insight into an icon
What a fascinating book. I’m a 2-decade fan and viewer of The View and have always respected Barbara for creating that institution, but acknowledge that I didn’t fully appreciate all that she has contributed to our world. This biography is an epic piece showcasing a long and complicated life.
The one aspect of this book that I found challenging was the awkward time jumps. In one chapter, the author would be talking about a specific topic or milestone in Barbara’s life, talk about something that happened later and may be connected to the larger story, then the next chapter we’d be talking about a potentially different time period. Aside from that it was a great read.

Very well written and very interesting
I have been fascinated by BW for years and really enjoyed this biography of her. I appreciate that the author does not talk about only the good and dives into things like her relationship with Diane Sowyer other events that happened behind the scenes that the public may not know about.

An Iconic Rulebreaker!
This has been such a treat! It was made more so by author Susan Page reading the book herself.
I have watched and been a long-time Barbara Walters fan. I regret never reading anything about her life until now. I must also admit I never really watched The View. Her work on 20/20, the Barbara Walters specials, and her Oscar night coverage were the works I enjoyed. I had no idea that the way she spoke was due to a speech impediment. I remember growing up watching her and thinking she was British because she spoke so elegantly!
Part of the treat in reading- er listening to Rulebreaker was discovering the things about her life that went well beyond her phenomenal career in broadcast journalism. This woman was on a mission to succeed almost from day one and so much of that had to do with her family history.
Then there were the men! I’m talking about the man who raised her, the ones she married and dated, the ones she interviewed, AND the ones she worked with! I learned a lot I didn’t want to know about various male journalists whom I’ve always held in such high esteem. I grew up watching them and believing they were as wonderful behind the camera as they were on it- WRONG!
Barbara experienced so much negativity in so many areas of her life, yet she managed to triumph through a great deal of it marvelously. She wasn’t a saint and often played unfairly, but no one could deny her talent, her hard work, or her brilliance. She left an astounding legacy that no one will ever come close to replicating.

Barbara's Amazing Life!
At times the story was hard to follow as there was much back and forth and not a clear chronological story line. The narrator was fantastic and Barbaras life was truly fascinating and heart breaking at times. I too have disabled siblings I care for and never new Barbara did as well. so I very much resonated with tears hearing her love hate relationship with her Sisterm hands down fascinating read.
