A collection of journalist Michele Landsberg's Toronto Star columns, where she was a regular columnist for more than twenty-five years between 1978 and 2005. Michele has chosen her favorite and most relevant columns, using them as a lens to reflect on the the second wave of feminism and the issues facing women then and now. An icon of the feminist movement and a hero to many, through her writing and activism Michele played an important role in fighting for the rights of women, children, and the disenfranchised. Her insights are as powerful for the generation of women who experienced the second wave as for the rising tide of young feminists taking action today.

Review
“I think of Michele Landsberg’s book as a clutch purse, in the sense that I tuck the gleaming thing under my folded arm, clutching it for safety and comfort and for the treasure it holds. Open it and jewels spill out: the stories of lives lived by women during feminism’s second wave. Love, humiliation, struggle, pain, small triumphs, great victories, all dressed in this great woman’s words imbued with the warmth for which she is famous. It isn’t the book of the year or the decade, it’s our own personal true story. “ (Heather Mallick)

I've got older and definitely more exhausted over the years, choosing my battles to conserve strength. Yet over the past two weeks my energy has swelled as I ration pages to read, to devour, to digest. As I near the end, I find I'm wondering who I should pass the book to, who will get as energised, hopefully more energised, as she reads Canadian history not taught in high school, not covered in the press. Buy it for yourself, pass it down to the next generations. Make notes in the margins. Your life is found in the pages, whether you marched or stayed on the sidelines or mocked the bra-burners.

a great book chronicalling what the status of women has been and is over the last several decades and detailing what women have been able to do to change the way things are. a bit more focused on Canada as its country of origin but still very much worth reading.
