Young feminist commentator and author of SISTERHOOD, INTERRUPTED: FROM RADICAL WOMEN TO GRRLS GONE WILD Deborah Siegel’s MAN ENOUGH: HOW THE NEW MANHOOD IS CHANGING WOMEN’S LIVES, exploring how young men today may express very different attitudes about gender equality than previous generations but at the same time our cultural ideals of masculinity have not changed very much, to Amy Caldwell at Beacon Press, in a nice deal, by Tracy Brown at Tracy Brown Literary Agency (NA).

Congratulations on your book deal. Beacon is a great press. I just finished Sisterhood Interrupted today, which I picked up at CCF, and think you did a great job. Your historical analysis made we understand a lot of things. And I really appreciated your last chapter. I'm eagerly awaiting Man Enough. This is where we have to go next! Anne
