About This Book

A first-person memoir traces the shift from private comfort to active commitment in social reform, recounting the choices that provoke family outrage and public commentary. The narrator describes resigning editorial positions to embrace a social-democratic and feminist agenda, the ensuing domestic conflicts and anxieties over ailing relatives, and the emotional cost of leaving customary duties. Interwoven with personal scenes are accounts of organizational work, travel to international gatherings, and reflective passages about conviction, sacrifice, and the practical challenges of advancing women's rights and social change.
