Specificatii
From Cecile Richards--the president of Planned Parenthood, daughter
of the late Governor Ann Richards, featured speaker at the Women's
March on Washington, and ``the heroine of the resistance``
(Vogue)--comes a story about learning to lead and make change,
based on a lifetime of fighting for women's rights and social
justice. Cecile Richards has been an activist since she was taken
to the principal's office in seventh grade for wearing an armband
in protest of the Vietnam War. Richards had an extraordinary
girlhood in ultra-conservative Texas, where her hell-raising
parents--her civil rights attorney father and political activist
mother--taught their kids to be troublemakers. In the Richards
household, the ``dinner table was never for eating--it was for
sorting precinct lists.`` She watched her mother, Ann, transform
herself from a housewife to a force in American politics who made a
name for herself as the straight-talking, truth-telling governor of
Texas. But Richards also witnessed the pitfalls of public life that
are unique to women, and the constant struggle to protect and
expand equal rights--both exemplified by her marathon congressional
testimony, where she held her own against hostile questions for
five hours. As a young woman, Richards worked as a labor organizer
alongside women earning a minimum wage, and learned that those in
power don't give it up without a fight. Now, after years of
advocacy, resistance, and progressive leadership, she shares her
story for the first time--from the joy and heartbreak of activism
to the challenges of raising kids, having a life, and making
change, all at the same time. She shines a light on the people and
lessons that have gotten her through good times and bad, and
encourages readers to take risks, make mistakes, and make trouble
along the way. Richards has dedicated her life to taking on
injustice, and her memoir will inspire readers to hope and action.
