Description
Book Synopsis There are more seasons to come and there is more work to do, Hillary Clinton told her supporters following her surprising defeat in the 2016 presidential election. Taking her words to heart, on January 21, 2017, millions of women (and men) across America--opposing a president-elect many considered a misogynist--marched in protest. Millions more around the world joined them in the first mass action of a new women''s political resistance movement. This collection of essays and interviews presents 36 voices in this emerging movement discussing a range of topics--activism, healthcare, education, LGBTQIA issues, the environment, and other concerns that affect the political and cultural environment now and in the future (www.werisetoresist.com).
Trade Review"For every person who railed in private or public protest against assaults on our nation's cherished institutions, Dáil's anthology provides essential validation affirming that dissent eventually works and that one's outrage need not be in vain." - Booklist“After 9/11, Nikki Stern overcame tragedy to shine as a beacon of reason and hope. Now, as we wobble close to tyranny, Nikki and the other excellent writers in We Rise to Resist collectively provide a way out. Resistance has many voices. Some of its most articulate advocates are gathered in this mighty collection.” — Lorraine Berry, contributing essayist, The Guardian
