I remember the slights of being subordinate to men. I could not get credit in my own name, there were jobs I could not apply to, college was billed as the way to land a good, professional husband, and as a businesswoman, I was often the only woman in the room and subjected to overt sexual harassment. Fortunately, during that time there was a group of dedicated women leading the fight for equality and in that pursuit founded the National Organization for Women (NOW).<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Most of us can easily recall a few of their names such as Gloria Steinem, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and Betty Friedan, who wrote <\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The Feminine Mystique<\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">. But there were many other courageous women whose names aren\u2019t on the tip of our tongues, who brought the fight to Congress and organized a movement to ratify The Equal Rights Amendment. \u201cA number of us had succeeded in overcoming some of the barriers,\u201d Fox writes, \u201cWe managed to attain fairly good jobs, somewhere in the middle of the system. But we still faced obstacles.\u201d Muriel Fox is one of these women, and she wants us to know and remember the others and the work they did for us all.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">I found <\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The Women\u2019s Revolution\u2014How We Changed Your Life<\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> to be a fascinating read. Fox\u2019s exciting first-person account reminded me about the slow but real progress women have made, the heroines who put themselves out at front and at personal risk, and the danger of the current backsliding we are experiencing.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Fox\u2019s frontline account is candid and revealing. She acknowledges the vision and progress made, but does not shy away from recounting the women\u2019s movement\u2019s mistakes, betrayals, defeats, and infighting. \u201cI was privileged to play a role in this revolution,\u201d she writes. \u201cI\u2019ll share with you, truthfully, the good and bad things we did.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">She reminds us that the founders of NOW and others were the second wave of feminists, continuing the work of their suffragette sisters. Fox wrote this book for our daughters and granddaughters, not us. There is still much work to be done and she implores the next generation to pick up the mantle and continue the fight.
