| The World Split Open is a love letter from one generation of women to another. With rare honesty and unfailing fairness, this book tells the story of what the 'second wave' of feminists dared, did, and sometimes even succeeded at. Fortunately, Ruth Rosen is the revolution's ideal chronicler: Not only was she actually there-raising hell along with the rest of us-but she has taken the time to stand back and reflect about those exhilarating years and how they changed our lives. Thank you, Ruth, for my children as well as for myself! |

A Fearless Woman is an enthralling and extraordinary memoir. Raised in an orphanage, this impoverished girl eventually rose to become an executive in the new beauty business. Written in an authentic and accessible voice, her memoir reveals, in great detail, a remarkable, unpredictable, exhilarating and painful life as she encounters repeated encounters with male domination.
Ruth Rosen, a distinguished historian of women’s lives, has once again discovered an unknown and indomitable woman. No longer hidden in history, her magnificent memoir reveals an unforgettable person. |
