About this listen
'A must-read memoir that you'll want to share with all the women in your life' MICHELLE OBAMA
'A work of art' OPRAH
To understand the icons Beyoncé, Solange and Kelly, you have to understand where they came from... A deeply personal and revelatory memoir by Ms Tina Knowles - as you've never seen her before.
Tina Knowles, the mother of icons Beyoncé Knowles-Carter, Solange Knowles and bonus daughter Kelly Rowland, is known the world over as a Matriarch with a capital M: the woman who raised and inspired some of the great artists of our time. But this story is about so much more than that.
For the first time ever, Tina Knowles shares her remarkable story in Matriarch. A life of grief and tragedy, love and heartbreak, the nurturing of her superstar daughters - and the perseverance and audacity it takes for a girl from Galveston, Texas to change the world.
This intimate and revealing memoir is a multigenerational family saga and a celebration of the wisdom that women, mothers and daughters pass on to each other across generations.
A glorious chronicle of a life like none other and a testament to the world-changing power of Black motherhood.©2025 Tina Knowles (P)2025 Hachette Audio UK
Critic Reviews
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. (Poppie Platt)
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. (Emily Watkins)
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. (Helen Brown)
A mother memoir that, like Knowles herself, stands proud in a lineage of singular excellence. (India Block)
