About the Book

Do you consider yourself a feminist? What does feminism mean to you? What issues and topics are most important to you? What do you hope for the future? These are just a few of the questions Nona Willis Aronowitz and Emma Bee Bernstein posed to the 127 women profiled in this book, ranging from well-known feminists like Kathleen Hanna, Laura Kipnis, Erica Jong, Michele Wallace, and Starhawk, to women who don’t relate to feminism at all.

"It’s unacceptable to not be aware of how your gender affects you." Read the full interview with Girldrive author Nona Willis Aronowitz on Elle.com and check out photos of women profiled in the book.

Reviews

"Nona and Emma have done what I suspect many women, young and old, have always dreamed of doing: Hit the open road with nothing more than a partner in crime, a full tank of gas, a playlist of good music, a pad of paper, a camera, and an unyielding curiosity. Girldrive is part travel diary, part social document, part art exhibit, and, sadly, part eulogy. Not only do I highly recommend it, I have to admit that I’m insanely jealous I didn’t think of it first."
—Anna Holmes, Founder/Editor, Jezebel.com
"
Girldrive is the first book on feminism I’ve seen based on the Web 2.0 model: short conversational stories, striking pictures, multi-racial. I wanted to click “share” every time I read another young woman’s reflection on gender and politics and how the two intertwine with race, class, and geographical experiences. It reminds me that feminism—like this country—has its strength in its diversity, in its many voices. Girldrive is truly a roadmap to feminism today and a must-read for anyone who wants to know where its future is headed."
—Daisy Hernández, Editor, ColorLines magazine

"Girldrive is a fascinating, fiery, dramatic whirlwind tour through modern-day women’s lives. It’s likely to make you excited, impassioned, and at times infuriated—and that’s a good thing. It lets its diversity of opinion speak to you rather than for you."
—Rachel Kramer Bussel, Editor, Dirty Girls: Erotica for Women, Host, In The Flesh Reading Series
