Feisty: A Memoir in Little Pieces (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781954805507)

Feisty is the story of a woman with attitude-told in short reflections that capture a life of awakening activism. From her exploits as a five-year-old New Jersey cowboy, to hosting Gloria Steinem in Alabama, to an awkward drink with a young Clarence Thomas, Jean Peelen shares her civil rights journey and the most vulnerable moments in her life. This book is funny and sad, deep and wide. Feisty shines a light on what is possible when a woman rejects the roles she is expected to fulfill and finds her own path.
