The author of "Rejected Princesses" returns with an inspiring, fully illustrated guide that brings together the fiercest mothers in history—real life matriarchs who gave everything to protect all they loved.

In Tough Mothers, Jason Porath brings his wisdom and wit to bear on fifty fascinating matriarchs.
