Feisty

Feisty is the story of a woman with attitude-told in short reflections that capture a life of awakening activism. From her exploits as a five-year-old New Jersey cowboy to hosting Gloria Steinem in Alabama and an awkward drink with a young Clarence Thomas, Jean Peelen shares her civil rights journey and the most vulnerable moments in her life.

This book is funny, sad, deep, and wide. Feisty shines a light on what is possible when a woman rejects the roles she is expected to fulfill and finds her own path.
