Shelby Knox: Live Tweeting from No Excuses Book Launch
I was so excited to have the fabulous Shelby Knox (on the far right in the photo) agreed to live tweet from my book launch at the Barnes and Noble Lincoln Triangle on October 5th. Shelby is an itinerant feminist organizer, a writer, a speaker, and a self-described revolutionary. (And I would agree with that!) You can keep up with her on Twitter.
To see more photos from the event, be sure to check out the book tour page. And if you missed the event, here are Shelby’s tweets to give you a nutshell version of the night!
Live tweets from the @gloriafeldt #noexcuses reading in #nyc. On women taking their power.

Sister courage is about creating a movement across generations. Steps: Be a sister, reach out to others, make issues public. #noexcuses
When women 1st think about the issues in their lives, they felt isolated-when they know they aren’t alone, they built a movement. #noexcuses
Fact that women like Sarah Palin want to call themselves feminists means the movement has permeated the culture.- @gloriafeldt #noexcuses

Love the quote about not getting published if you don’t submit.
“Half-finished revolution” — so inspiring! What’s so great about your language is the way you give words to what has only been a vague idea up until this point — obviously the revolution isn’t finished because women still do not have equal rights, and I think we just needed someone to articulate it in the right way to get the ball rolling again!
