Reviews

"Traister does a fine job in showing that progress does not proceed in straight lines, and, sometimes, it's the unlikeliest of individuals who initiate real change.-- ""Publishers Weekly"" ""A passionate, visionary, and very personal account."" -- ""New York Times Book Review"" ""I ended up admiring Traister and loving her book. In its best parts, it is a raw and brave memoir of a journalist who discovered that all is not well for women in America, and a description of how she and other young women are laying claim to their rightful place in the fight...Such a youthful embrace of the women's work yet to be done is exhilarating--for her generation and for mine."" -- ""Washington Post"""
