A self-proclaimed 'myth buster by trade', over her long-ranging
career as a journalist and political activist Barbara Ehrenreich
has delved with devastating wit and insight into the social and
political fabric of America. Had I Known gathers together
Ehrenreich's most significant articles and excerpts from the last
four decades - some of which became the starting point for her
bestselling books - from her award-winning article 'Welcome to
Cancerland', published shortly after she was diagnosed with breast
cancer, to her groundbreaking investigative journalism in 'Nickel
and Dimed', which explored living in America on the minimum wage.
Issues she identified as far back as the 80s and 90s such as work
poverty, rising inequality, the gender divide and medicalised
health care, are top of the social and political agenda today.
Written with remarkable tenderness, humour and incisiveness,
Ehrenreich's describes an America of struggle, inequality, racial
bias and injustice. Her extraordinarily prescient and relevant
perspective announces her as one of most significant thinkers of
our day.
