Description: A collection of essays accompanied by beautiful black - and - white photography from a diverse group of women on the moment they realized they were ready to fight for themselves including Gloria Steinem Lena Waithe Joanna Gaines Brandi Carlile Beanie Feldstein Cynthia Erivo and Billie Jean King among others. This powerful essay collection is a natural extension of the # Me Too movement revealing the interior experience of women after they ve inevitably been underestimated or hurt the epiphany that the world is different than they thought it to be and how they ve used this knowledge to make change. In My Moment Gloria Steinem tells the story of how a meeting with writer Terry Southern drew blood. Carol Burnett shares how CBS discouraged her from pursuing The Carol Burnett Show because comedy variety shows were a man's game. Joanna Gaines reveals how coming to New York City as a young woman helped her embrace her Korean heritage after enduring racist bullying as a child. Author Maggie Smith details a career crossroads when her boss declined her request to work from home after the birth of her daughter leading her to quit and never look back. Over and over again when told no these women said yes to themselves. This hugely inspiring beautiful book will move people of all ages and make them feel less alone. More than the sum of its parts My Moment is also a handbook for young women (or any woman) making their way through the world.
