A brave and engrossing memoir detailing a Southern Belle's transformation from a sheltered, fundamentalist white childhood in Jim Crow's Alabama & Georgia of the 50s & 60s, to becoming an activist and leader in the Second Wave Feminism of the 70s and helping to establish the first international N.O.W. chapter in Paris, France. Spanning locales as diverse as the Deep South, to the deserts of New Mexico; the remote islands of Micronesia in the South Pacific; to Paris, she carries the reader along with her through the emotional and sensual spaces that make up a woman's life, weaving stories from her past and reflections of the present into a unique, poetic memoir.
