Clinton "Important and instructive reading for all who look for ways to mend the world and promote social change."—Hannah Rosenthal, Regional Director, Health & Human Services, under Pres. Clinton "Their story needs to be known." —Judge Charles B. Schudson, Wisconsin Court of Appeals "This book will inspire and show you how to be an effective catalyst for good." —Roland B. Day, Chief Justice (Ret.), Wis. Supreme Court "One thing I like a lot about the book is that it shows change is possible in realistic and manageable ways. Telling that story is important, because many women don't believe their employers or politicians are capable of change, and don't see themselves as being able to make that change happen. So the more we popularize who the change-makers are and show people, 'See, this is how to do it' ... that's what can make a difference." —Ellen Bravo, Co-Director, 9 to 5
