by mail@democracynow.org (Democracy Now!) from Democracy Now! on (#3PPQN)
From the massive Women's March against President Trump's inauguration, to the wave of teachers' strikes sweeping across red states nationwide, to the #MeToo movement, women have been at the forefront of rising political and social mobilizations challenging the Trump administration's agenda and the entrenched gender-based violence and white supremacy in U.S. society.

She's just published a new memoir, "Make Trouble: Standing Up, Speaking Out, and Finding the Courage to Lead."
