American Catfight: Political Wisdom for Women

In AMERICAN CATFIGHT, Maryann Breschard offers political wisdom for women and other thoughts towards feminine statecraft in the 21st century. Breschard's common sense approach to women, politics, and money begins with a humorous review of the major political and legislative milestones from which women most benefited in the last century while noting, tongue firmly in cheek, that in terms of speed, molten lava looking for an exit through earth's crust has ofttimes moved faster. The book then zips readers to modern-day events and gives a detailed rendering of the chronic, quiet catfight that keeps the feminine sex from using their majority status to achieve economic and political equality quickly. Wisdom is passed on in the form of alerting readers to the three kinds of women, collectively called the Mercenaries of Feminism, who directly and indirectly keep women pitted against each other. The last half of the book proffers the most provocative material by examining variously how married women behave towards single women, how feminists handle politically apathetic women, and how women as a collective entity should approach economic and political disparity going forward. With something valuable for everyone to think about, American Catfight is 100] pages of entertaining cultural criticism well-suited for busy women wondering what is next, young women who Twitter and text, and anyone engaged with issues of women and power.

Every revolution deserves an update and American Catfight gives the womens revolution just that With clear-eyed humor supported by statistic and fact, filmmaker Maryann Breschard delivers a wake-up call to women, declaring that the only thing women have holding them back is women themselves. Written to expand on the themes in her feature documentary, Running in High Heels, Breschard creates a new political voice for the moderate woman, who, like so much of America, is tired of the status quo and looking for real wisdom to explain it all. Breschard reminds women that they are the majority of the population (at 52%) and are empowered to turn their world around any time they chose. All they have to do is shake off the calls of special interests that profit while holding back progress and learn how to identify a political catfight when they see one. With something valuable for everyone to think about, American Catfight is 100+ pages of entertaining cultural criticism and well-suited for busy women wondering what is next, young women who Twitter and text, and anyone engaged with issues of women and power.
