My Moment: 106 Women on Fighting for Themselves
Hardcover
From the publisher's website:
This powerful essay collection is a natural extension of the #MeToo
movement, revealing the interior experience of women after they’ve
inevitably been underestimated or hurt—the epiphany that the world is
different than they thought it to be—and how they’ve used this knowledge
to make change.
In My Moment, Gloria Steinem tells the
story of how a meeting with writer Terry Southern drew blood. Carol
Burnett shares how CBS discouraged her from pursuing The Carol Burnett Show,
because comedy variety shows were “a man’s game.” Joanna Gaines reveals
how coming to New York City as a young woman helped her embrace her
Korean heritage after enduring racist bullying as a child. Author Maggie
Smith details a career crossroads when her boss declined her request to
work from home after the birth of her daughter, leading her to quit and
never look back.
Over and over again, when told “no” these
women said “yes” to themselves. This hugely inspiring, beautiful book
will move people of all ages and make them feel less alone. More than
the sum of its parts, My Moment is also a handbook for young women (or any woman) making their way through the world.
