I’m very excited to announce that my essay about feminism changing my life will appear in the forthcoming book Click from Seal Press, which hits shelves on April 27.

About the book:

When did you know you were a feminist? Whether it was a scene in a television show, an experience in school, or a specific day at work, many women can point to a particular moment in which they knew—or realized—they were feminists. Accomplished young authors Courtney E. Martin and J. Courtney Sullivan offer a look at feminism in the lives of young women—and tackle the questions of what made them feminists, how they came to define themselves as feminists, and how that identity has shifted and grown over time.

Click features a range of women, including Amy Richards, Shelby Knox, Winter Miller, Allisa Quart, Rebecca Traister, Jennifer Baumgardner, and Debbie Siegel, each sharing their self-defining and personal stories. Sometimes emotional, sometimes humorous, each of these stories offers something to which other women can relate.

In a time of feminist reflection, Martin and Sullivan offer a look at feminism for the under-forty set.

About my essay:

Say, do you like stories about dead-end jobs, riot grrrl bands, and hopeful futures? Oh, good.
