“Cokie Roberts was a trailblazer who forever transformed the role of women in the newsroom and in our history books,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said. “Over five decades of celebrated journalism, Cokie shone a powerful light on the unsung women who built our nation, but whose stories had long gone untold.”
“We respected her drive and appreciated her humor,” the former president said. “She became a friend.” She co-wrote a political column for many years with her husband of 53 years, Steven, who survives. They had two children.
