 Rich and elegant history of American feminists, September 27, 2006

 Buyer Beware! You are about to fall in love with a feminist. Turn the
page and another will become irresistible. Feminists Who Changed
America, 1963 - 1975 will change YOU. This is a dazzling compendium of
over 2,000 biographies; elegant, short, profound and inspiring. Unlike
the lost legacies of many First Wave feminists, the stories of these
Second Wave feminists will be preserved forever in this collated,
verified and beautifully presented book. In addition, each feminist's
archive site is indicated.

 The three year creative process began with identifying and locating
feminists who were active 1963 ~ 1975. They (or their heirs) were sent
questionnaires and their responses were transformed into short bios.
You can be certain of the veracity of the information here but don't
think for a moment that it is dry or exclusively academic. With each
biography you will fall in love with a feminist who was a first; first
lawmaker, first professor, first publisher, first judge, first member
in a legislature, first to march, first to open women's health clinic.
In this reading you will read and feel how these brief years paved
every road for women in America and, thus, women in the world. It is
rich as cheesecake, a bite everyday is delectable.
