In addition to her broadcasting achievements, Roberts was a best-selling author. Her books often focused on the overlooked roles of women in history and politics. Notable works include Capital Dames: The Civil War and the Women of Washington, 1848–1868 and Ladies of Liberty, both of which highlight women's contributions during turbulent periods in American history. She also co-authored Conversations with Uncommon Women, a book celebrating women who have overcome life's challenges to achieve success.
Roberts met her husband, journalist and professor Stephen V. Roberts, in 1962, when she was eighteen. The two married in 1966 and settled in Bethesda, Maryland. Together, they had two children and six grandchildren. Their partnership extended to professional collaborations, including co-authoring columns and commentary pieces.
Cokie Roberts passed away on September 17, 2019, at the age of 75 due to complications from breast cancer. Her legacy endures through her contributions to journalism, her advocacy for women's roles in history, and the impact she left on American political commentary.
