Matriarch by Tina Knowles

Product Details

About the Book

Here is a page-turning chronicle of family love and heartbreak, loss and perseverance, and the kind of creativity, audacity, and will it takes for a girl from Galveston to change the world. In Matriarch, Tina Knowles — the mother of iconic singer-songwriters Beyoncé Knowles-Carter and Solange Knowles, and "bonus daughter" Kelly Rowland — tells her own story for the first time, weaving together a rich, multigenerational family saga that carries within it the story of America itself, and the wisdom that women pass down to each other, from mothers to daughters, across generations.

Knowles traces her family's roots back to her great-grandmother and grandmother, both of whom fought to keep their children from being sold away or otherwise separated during slavery, and follows the strength and wisdom passed down through generations of women that fueled her own passion to achieve. She candidly recounts her extremely rocky thirty-one-year marriage to Matthew Knowles and their eventual divorce, the creative and romantic risks and turmoil of her life, and the particular challenge and joy of nurturing superstar daughters while also cultivating her own remarkable gifts as a businesswoman, fashion designer, art collector, and activist. Told in rich, detailed color that conjures a fully realized world for the reader to inhabit, Matriarch is at once one brilliant woman's intimate and revealing personal story and a testament to the enduring, ferocious love that defines Black motherhood.

Michelle Obama called it "a beautiful and brave story of strong women, fierce mothering, and the power of continued evolution," while Oprah Winfrey described it as "a fascinating memoir of Tina Knowles's journey to become the global figure she is today." The New York Times highlighted how both her great-grandmother and grandmother fought to keep their children from being separated in slavery, and The Washington Post praised the memoir's richly detailed, immersive storytelling, noting that even devoted fans of the Knowles family's music empire would find new revelations within its pages.
