❞ ˝I˝d marched for reproductive rights, but I still mourned the baby I aborted when I was twenty. I˝d been in a lesbian relationship for eleven years, but when my car broke down I still longed for a husband. I˝d picketed beauty pageants, but I˝d been secretly dieting for fifteen years.˝ . ❝
❞ Today we earn more money than our mothers did, at jobs they never dreamed of doing. We are less likely to stay in unhappy marriages, to bear unwanted
children. But have we achieved what we set out to accomplish? Do women--whether they˝re twenty or forty or sixty--feel more in control of their lives? Has feminism made us more--or less--fulfilled in our relationships with men and with each other? . ❝
❞ With her keen eye for contradictions, Meredith Maran finds our new realities in surprising on a racquetball court facing an unyielding female opponent; before a classroom of high school students, openly discussing her bisexuality; in a courtroom during a sexual abuse trial. Through her singular experiences she illuminates the issues millions of women confront her thorny relationship with her mother; the politics of flirting; the struggle to raise caring, responsible children in the face of racism and violence.

❞ Meredith Maran˝s first book, What It˝s Like to Live Now , was an amazingly candid and often hilarious memoir of her journey from a sixties idealist to a nineties new woman, complete with two teenage sons, a female lover, and a hefty mortgage. Now, with the same reckless honesty, she returns to explore life--hers and ours, female and male--in the wake of the women˝s movement . ❝
