“This is a brilliant reclamation of the young women of Shakespeare. It's about time these girls shook up their own stories. Beautifully read, the poetry of this book cannot be understated. ”

“This book makes me want to live in NYC! I loved her stories, from raising kids, to advice about going to weddings, and to hearing firsthand from Lois. Since I’m a Southerner, I related to many of her essays. A delightful read! ”

Each of the team members is bringing their past along which creates a lot of tension and conflict. This will keep you on the edge of your seat. ”

He examines why current programs aren't working, and proposes policies and attitude shifts that might help to close the gap. ”
