Join Me in DC for a No Excuses Reception
RH Reality Check, United Nations Foundation, and Women’s Campaign Forum are co-sponsoring a reception to celebrate the release of No Excuses: 9 Ways Women Can Change How We Think About Power. The reception will be held in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday, October 13th from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Check out my Upcoming Events page for more details. If you plan to attend please send your RSVP via email to unfevents(AT)unfoundation(DOT)org.
Jodi Jacobson has this to say over at RH Reality Check:
Feldt employs a no-nonsense, tough-love point of view to expose the internal and external roadblocks holding women back, but she doesn’t place blame; rather, she provides inspiration, hope, and courage — as well as concrete “power tools” to aid women in securing equality and justice for themselves — articulated with personal warmth and humor. In an era where women outnumber men in universities, reproductive technologies have changed the power balance in personal relationships, and women are closer than any previous time in history to earning on par with their male counterparts, No Excuses is a timely and invaluable book that intends to help women equalize gender power in politics, work, and love.
