Title: My Moment: 106 Women on Fighting for Themselves Author: Lauren Blitzer, Chely Wright, Kristin Chenoweth, Kathy Najimy Narrator: Lauren Blitzer, Chely Wright, Lanna Joffrey, Carolina Hoyos, Ashton Grooms, Aj Ferraro, Natalie Naudus, Joy Osmanski, Soneela Nankani, Kristin Chenoweth, Kathy Najimy Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 15 minutes Release date: May 24, 2022 Genres: Women Publisher's Summary: A collection of essays accompanied by beautiful black-and-white photography from a diverse group of women on the moment they realized they were ready to fight for themselves—including Gloria Steinem, Lena Waithe, Joanna Gaines, Brandi Carlile, Beanie Feldstein, Cynthia Erivo, and Billie Jean King, among others. This powerful essay collection is a natural extension of the #MeToo movement, revealing the interior experience of women after they’ve inevitably been underestimated or hurt—the epiphany that the world is different than they thought it to be—and how they’ve used this knowledge to make change. In My Moment, Gloria Steinem tells the story of how a meeting with writer Terry Southern drew blood. Carol Burnett shares how CBS discouraged her from pursuing The Carol Burnett Show, because comedy variety shows were “a man’s game.” Joanna Gaines reveals how coming to New York City as a young woman helped her embrace her Korean heritage after enduring racist bullying as a child. Author Maggie Smith details a career crossroads when her boss declined her request to work from home after the birth of her daughter, leading her to quit and never look back. Over and over again, when told “no” these women said “yes” to themselves. This hugely inspiring, beautiful book will move people of all ages and make them feel less alone. More than the sum of its parts, My Moment is also a handbook for young women (or any woman) making their way through the world.
