Dangerous times call for dangerous women

An intimate and inspiring memoir and call to action from Pat Mitchell. What makes Mitchell dangerous is her lifelong insistence on redefining power on her terms and leveraging that power to manifest a better world. She shares her own path to power, from a childhood spent on a cotton farm in the South to her impressive rise in media and global activism. Alongside revelatory interviews with other dangerous women, Mitchell takes us on a lively journey, sharing with readers intimate anecdotes about navigating the power paradigms of Washington, DC and Hollywood, traveling to war zones with Eve Ensler and Glenn Close, pressing Fidel Castro into making a historic admission about the Cold War and working closely with Ted Turner and Robert Redford.

The Apology is, quite simply, amazing. Like millions of women, Eve Ensler has been waiting much of her lifetime for an apology. Sexually and physically abused by her father, she has struggled her whole life from this betrayal, longing for an honest reckoning from a man who is long dead. After years of work as an anti-violence activist, she decided she would wait no longer; an apology could be imagined, by her, for her, to her. Written by Eve from her father’s point of view in the words she longed to hear, The Apology is creating an entirely new and important global conversation about why apologies matter so deeply.
