I am a champion for human rights – specifically for the rights of the disabled, women, and the LGBTQ (Lesbian, Gay, Bi-sexual, Transgender, Questioning) community. For entertainment, I greatly enjoy documentaries and non-fiction books about politics and human/civil rights.
For a few months, I’ve been in search for a good read regarding women and politics. In college, I read Susan Faludi’s, Backlash, and I haven’t found a book yet that has met my high expectations until now. I am excited to share a recommendation for you liberal-thinking folk regarding women and politics.
Rumors of Our Progress have been Greatly Exaggerated is written by Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney. This book shines the light on our current situation when it comes to gender discrimination, and is a quick, easy, and worthwhile read. Each chapter focuses on a topic and at the end of each chapter, Representative Maloney provides a Plan of Action for each reader to consider. This book has motivated me to make a difference for myself, my daughter, and all of my sisters.
Consequently, I have developed a plan of my own to enhance our progress as women. As I move forward with the plan, I will share the things I’ve done and thought about. I will also note things in the media that I find interesting in my work toward human rights for women and for all.
I hope you enjoy my thoughts…Diana’s Wisdom.
