‘A Singular Woman:’ President Obama’s Mother

Mother’s Day is just around the corner, and this week, during which all eyes are on the accomplishments of the president, we look at his mother, Stanley Ann Dunham.  A teenage mother, she married and divorced twice, had two children, and eventually went on to earn a PhD and work in international development.  New York Times writer Janny Scott has written a new, comprehensive biography of Dunham called “A Singular Woman: The Untold Story of Barack Obama’s Mother.”
