Product Information

Florence Howe has led an audacious life: she created a freedom school during the civil rights movement, refused to bow to academic heavyweights who were opposed to sharing power with women, and founded a feminist publishing house at a time when books for and about women were few. Sustained by her relationships with iconic writers like Grace Paley, Tillie Olsen, and Marilyn French, she traveled the world as an emissary for women's empowerment. Howe's memoir spans her eighty years of personal struggle and professional triumphs. Florence Howe was first introduced to activisim during the civil rights era and helped establish women's studies programs across the country during the early years of the second wave of the feminist movement. In 1970 she founded the Feminist Press and was its publisher until 2006. She is professor emerita of English at the graduate center at the City University of New York, and holds many honors as well as six honorary doctorates, the most recent from the University of Wisconsin at Madison.

Reviews
"A Life in Motion is the inside story of the birth of women's studies as a discipline, the rise of an international feminist movement, and the role of women in publishing and education. A sharp and compelling memoir." --Rosemary G. Feal, executive director of the Modern Language Association "If words speak truth we have it here in Florence Howe's long awaited memoir. Out of the pain of childhood, the deprivation, the want, comes the story of a woman's endurance, the voice of a self searching out worlds in which to be, a tale told with startling honesty by one of the founding figures of the US feminist movement, giving us the treasures of a history that might otherwise have been lost." --Meena Alexander, author of Fault Lines "In this bold and courageous memoir Florence Howe transports us across class, gender, race divides--in and out of love, deprivation, and tragedy--along her activist journey toward profoundly creative work, and the abiding love of generations of chosen family. Everyone concerned about global feminism, women's contributions, and humanity's future will be enhanced and enchanted by A Life in Motion." --Blanche Wiesen Cook, author of Eleanor Roosevelt "Honest, brave, frank, engrossing, this memoir offers an extraordinary history of one woman's life -- Brooklyn-born, Jewish, New York feminist intellectual, international role model, and publisher." --Shirley Geok-lin Lim, author of Among the White Moon Faces
