Memoir of a Feminist
Memoir of a Feminist
Description
Roz McGrath is a woman living in the right time. She was fortunate to have been given an education at a time when women were encouraged to break out and pursue careers other than nursing, teaching and secretarial skills. She was on the cusp of a new era and wanted to see and do it all. Her memoir is proof of that. Born to an American G.I. and a British RAF secretary, she grew up in a unique household in Southern California, the oldest of ten children. Her perspective and activism in the women's movement from the 1950's to now will enlighten men and women alike, who don't fully understand the major results of the US Women's Movement. A retired educator and farm manager, Roz continues to teach Women's History and learn for herself what extraordinary advances women have made. The lingering question remains, "Why are women still underrepresented in all areas of U.S. life?" This book offers a concise overview of American Women's history with the author's own experiences as a young feminist. Ms. McGrath is earnestly trying to make sense of it all. The readers will find her story interesting and challenging and will end up questioning their own personal experiences with women's progress.
