She had an extraordinary childhood in ultra-conservative Texas, where her civil rights attorney father and activist mother taught their kids to be troublemakers. In the Richards household, the "dinner table was never for eating -- it was for sorting precinct lists." From the time Richards was a girl, she had a front-row seat to observe the rise of women in American politics. She watched her mother, Ann, transform from a housewife to an electrifying force in the Democratic party who made a name for herself as the straight-talking, truth-telling governor of Texas. But Richards also witnessed the pitfalls of public life that are unique to women. Her experiences paint a powerful portrait of the misogyny, sexism, fake news, and even the threat of violence confronting those who challenge authority. As a young woman, Richards worked as a labor organizer alongside women earning minimum wage and learned that those in power don't give it up without a fight. Now, after years of advocacy, resistance, and progressive leadership, she shares her story -- from the joy and heartbreak of activism to the challenges of raising kids, having a life, and making change, all at the same time. She shines a light on the people and lessons that have gotten her through good times and bad, and encourages readers to take risks, make mistakes, and make trouble along the way. 546 $a Text in English. 600 10 $a Richards, Cecile. 600 10 $a Richards, Ann, $d 1933-2006 $x Family. 610 20 $a Planned Parenthood Federation of America $x Officials and employees $v Biography. 650 0 $a Women political activists $v Biography. 650 0 $a Leadership in women $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a Women's rights $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a Social justice $z United States $x History. 650 1 $a Women's rights $z United States $x History. 650 6 $a Femmes activistes $v Biographies. 650 6 $a Leadership chez la femme $z EÌtats-Unis $x Histoire. 650 6 $a Justice sociale $z EÌtats-Unis $x Histoire. 650 7 $a BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY $x Personal Memoirs. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY $x Women. $2 bisacsh 600 17 $a Richards, Ann, $d 1933-2006. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00254567 610 27 $a Planned Parenthood Federation of America. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00519930 650 7 $a Employees. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00909111 650 7 $a Families. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01728849 650 7 $a Leadership in women. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00994745 650 7 $a Social justice. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01122603 650 7 $a Women political activists. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01178374 650 7 $a Women's rights. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01178818 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 655 2 $a Autobiography 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919894 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 rvmgf 700 1 $a Peterson, Lauren, $e author. 941 $a 1 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20220924010156.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=18CE15CA237211EDB0CC782036ECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b LJWInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
