Publisher's Synopsis
Repeatedly declared dead by the media, the women's movement has never been as vibrant as it is today. This one-of-a-kind intersectional anthology features the writings of the most well-known suffragists.
This book takes place in the early 1970s. It is the story of a young woman named Jo, as she moves from her 20's into her 30's, and the women's movement that holds her along her way. It is also a story about a rural community of great natural beauty and of a man who helps Jo find her home. It tells the story of the women's movement as it worked on the ground in an ordinary community, moved by ordinary women, during an extraordinary time. It is meant for the young, who need to know how far we've come so they can have the courage to keep moving for change. It is also for women of a certain age who lived the experience because their courage and creativity really deserve to be told. It is a book told simply, with great humor, and a great heart.
