Synopses & ReviewsReview:"Embarking on a road trip across the U.S. to engage with contemporary women, writer Aronowitz and the late artist Bernstein (1985-2008) assert that 'all we want is conversation.' Through 127 casual discussions with female college students, burlesque dancers, musicians, nuns-in-training, single mothers, abortion clinic staffers and others, the authors privilege the unique experiences and perspectives of both established activists and women who hesitate to identify with any notion of feminism. Coupling luminous, enigmatic photography with insightful diary entries, the pair contribute sharp commentary on modern womanhood and gender issues. The project is most striking when exploring the personal stories of interview subjects, but the authors' ambitious scope makes some encounters feel repetitive. Clearly a work of passion for Bernstein (who committed suicide before the book's publication) and Aronowitz both, the authors share of themselves generously, imprinting the 'open-ended, fluid conversation' with their voices, feelings and personalities." Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.) Synopsis:How do you "experience" feminism? How do you "do" your feminism? Do you even "realize" you're a feminist? These are just some of the questions Nona Willis Aronowitz and Emma Bee Bernstein seek to answer in "Girldrive." In October 2007, Nona and Emma embarked on a cross-country road trip, meeting with nearly 200 women from different walks of life to discuss their thoughts and feelings about feminism. The result of these interviews, "Girldrive" is a look at what feminism means to each of these profiled women. Examining the regional and individual differences of feminism, the authors offer up their interviews, photographs, profiles, and analyses from these meetings, portraying a broad picture of what it means to be a feminist. Featuring a range of women, from little-knowns to feminist icons, "Girldrive" offers a broad perspective from women about women, inspiring the young women of today to look toward the future of feminism.
