“But women have equal rights!”

“Roe V. Wade is settled law.”

“What was she wearing?”

We’ve all heard these things—statements that offered false security around women’s rights or seemingly “innocent” questions that held women accountable for a man’s actions and were designed, ultimately, to keep women down.

Now more than ever, we understand the impact they can have, and just how far we still have to go to change the tides of justice and cultural views until women—all women—are truly equal.

The march towards progress is never linear, and in recent times we have experienced some staggering setbacks, as well as exhilarating progress. But one truth remains: women’s rights are under organized attack and the cultural war on how women are viewed continues to play out in tandem. And We. Are. Angry.

How do you express anger over injustice? And how can you take your anger over an issue and turn it into action?

In this insightful and inspiring book, Connecticut State Representative Jillian Gilchrest takes us through the process of first identifying as a feminist, to learning to actively listen to a diversity of people’s lived experiences, which serves to guide advocacy efforts, to fighting fiercely for a women’s right to choose and more.

The threats are real, and the opportunities are vast. And we need every single one of us in this together…right now.
