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.

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.
