Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

From Cecile Richards, the former president of Planned Parenthood
for more than a decade, daughter of the late Ann Richards, featured
speaker at the Women's March on Washington, and "the heroine of the
resistance" (Vogue), comes "an enthralling memoir" (Booklist,
starred review) filled with "practical advice and inspiration for
aspiring leaders everywhere" (Hillary Rodham Clinton). Cecile
Richards has been an activist since she was taken to the
principal's office in seventh grade for wearing an armband in
protest of the Vietnam War. Richards had an extraordinary childhood
in ultra-conservative Texas, where her civil rights attorney father
and activist mother taught their kids to be troublemakers. She had
a front-row seat to observe the rise of women in American politics
and watched her mother, Ann, transform from a housewife to an
electrifying force in the Democratic party. As a young woman,
Richards worked as a labor organizer alongside women earning
minimum wage, and learned that those in power don't give it up
without a fight. She experienced first-hand the misogyny, sexism,
fake news, and the ever-looming threat of violence that constantly
confront women who challenge authority. Now, after years of
advocacy, resistance, and progressive leadership, she shares her
"truly inspiring" (Redbook) story for the first time-from the joy
and heartbreak of activism to the challenges of raising kids,
having a life, and making change, all the while garnering a
reputation as "the most badass feminist EVER" (Teen Vogue). In the
"powerful and infinitely readable" (Gloria Steinem) Make Trouble,
Richards reflects on the people and lessons that have gotten her
through good times and bad, and encourages the rest of us to take
risks, make mistakes, and make trouble along the way.
