Reviews for American Women Activists' Writings
In Kathryn Cullen-DuPont's new book, women activists of all persuasions talk about how and why they decided to speak up-and out. This splendid book made me feel a connection to these women and what they have done to make all our lives possible. An ususual and illuminating book-club choice.
