Matriarch

In her first-ever memoir, Knowles presents a celebration of feminism, identity and pursuing your dreams.

A must-read memoir that you'll want to share with all the women in your life .

A work of art .

In Matriarch , her touching, surprisingly beautiful memoir, Knowles weaves together a rich tapestry of a life defined by providing love . . . Matriarch encapsulates the hypocrisies of the American Dream while eventually turning into an ode to its possibilities.

A gifted storyteller who weaves together intergenerational narratives into an impressively cohesive whole...Throughout Matriarch, such scrupulous accounts of systemic discrimination and violence paint a vivid picture of a topic that can otherwise feel hard to grasp - one of the book's greatest strengths...What makes Beyoncé Beyoncé, Tina Tina, or you you? Matriarch poses big, pertinent questions, and the answers it offers are largely thoughtful. Packing plenty of wisdom even if neither you nor your progeny are global superstars, Matriarch insists on the multiplicity in us all - daughter, woman, mother, no matter how we came to be that way.

Knowles has a keen eye for both the overall shape of a tale and the tiny sensory details that will connect readers to it . . . As a mother, I closed this book in awe of Knowles' hard grafting, hard loving, open minded and humbly accountable parenting ethos. No wonder her girls grew up to feel they could run the world .

A touching tale of growing up in the US south.

A mother memoir that, like Knowles herself, stands proud in a lineage of singular excellence .
