Our Declaration of Independence from a Man's World
By Jennifer Palmieri
Narrated by: Jennifer Palmieri
Length: 3 hours 17 minutes
She Proclaims
“She Proclaims: Our Declaration of Independence from a Man's World by Jennifer Palmieri blew me away. Palmieri's manifesto outlines that our society was built by and for men and that we must dismantle and rebuild a world that allows for mutual empowerment benefiting everyone. Inspiring and invigorating, Palmieri celebrates the women's moment's accomplishments and history through personal reflections and stories of inspirational female leaders. This is not a proclamation against men but rather a declaration of the undeniable power women have harnessed all along. This is a declaration of men and women are created equal, and therefore 'we must proclaim our own freedom and our worth.'”

Hood Feminism
“Powerful. Important. Compulsively readable. Kendall’s narrative style is top notch - riveting and un-put-down-able. Not only is this a must read, it's a must pay attention. It's a must revisit and keep learning kind of book. Kendall dives deep and doesn't pull punches, but she doesn't seek to shame either. This is necessary reading for anyone who considers themselves a feminist. Because solidarity needs to be for ALL.”
