Feminist icon Gloria Feldt pulls no punches in this new book, which urges women to step into positions of power—now.
No Excuses argues that the most confounding problem facing women today isn’t that doors aren’t open, but that not enough women are walking through them. From the boardroom to the bedroom, public office to personal relationships, she asserts that nobody is keeping women from parity—except themselves.
Using Hillary Clinton's groundbreaking campaign for President as a launching point, Feldt shows how and why now is the time for women to lead their own way forward. Through interviews, historical perspectives, and anecdotes,
No Excuses examines why barriers to equality still exist in American culture, and how "movement-building" principles can enable women to redefine power and embrace it for good. Feldt employs a no-nonsense, tough-love point of view to expose the internal and external roadblocks holding women back, but she doesn't place blame; rather, she provides inspiration, hope, and courage—as well as concrete tools to aid women in securing equality and justice for themselves—articulated with personal warmth and humor.
In an era when women outnumber men in universities, reproductive technologies have changed the power balance in personal relationships, and women are closer than any previous time in history to earning on par with their male counterparts,
No Excuses is a timely and invaluable book to help women equalize gender power in politics, work, and love.
