“It Changed My Life: Writings on the Women’s Movement”. New York: Random House. The dust jacket is intact and in good shape. Page edges have a little shelf dust. The inscription reads: For Linda. It changed my life. The first stirring and uncertain years of the women’s movement helped many women put a name to the sense of invisibility, powerlessness, and depression that Friedan famously called the problem that has no name. First published in 1976, “It Changed My Life” is a compellingly readable collection of reports from the front, back in the days less than a generation ago when women were routinely shut out of the professions and higher education, underpaid, condescended to, and harassed without consequences to the harassers. A classic of modern feminism, “It Changed My Life” brings back years of struggle for those who were there, and recreates the past for the readers of today who were not yet born during these struggles for the opportunities and respect to which women can now feel entitled. In changing women’s lives, the women’s movement has changed everything. So, if you experience any problem at all, please contact me immediately. I will do my best to make it right.
