Description

What is it that distinguishes Texas women—the famous Yellow Rose and her descendants? Is it that combination of graciousness and grit that we revere in First Ladies Laura Bush and Lady Bird Johnson? The rapier-sharp wit that Ann Richards and Molly Ivins used to skewer the great ole boy establishment? The ethical righteousness with which Barbara Jordan defended the United States constitution? An unnatural fondness for Dr Pepper and queso?

In her inimitable style, Sarah Bird will pay tribute to the Texas Woman in all her glory and all her contradictions. She humorously recalls her own early bewildered attempts to remember Lone Star gals, from the massive-haired, perfectly made-up ladies on the Hyde Park Beauty Salon to her intellectual, quinoa-eating roommates at Seneca House Co-op for Graduate Women. After decades of observing Texas women, Bird knows the species as few others do. A Love Letter to Texas Women is a should-have guide for newcomers to the state and definitely the right gift to inform any Yellow Rose how special she is.
