'Heather Ostman approaches the autobiographical projects of Jane Addams, Emma Goldman, Dorothy Day, Angela Davis, Mary Crow Dog, and Betty Friedan by looking at what they shared and what they did not, especially regarding the authors’ feminist rhetorics and the various ways their lives and social justice causes were entangled. This premise is particularly exciting for scholars interested in the relationship between life writing and social justice. Ostman’s volume can be read as an evolution of themes (womanhood, sisterhood, motherhood, marriage, class, race, gendered body, conversion) threaded along each chapter.' - Ana Belén Martínez García, Associate Professor of English at the University of Navarra
