Summary:
To make change, you have to make trouble. From Cecile Richards, president of Planned Parenthood Federation of America for more than a decade, daughter of the late Governor Ann Richards, featured speaker at the Women's March on Washington - comes a story about learning to lead and make change. 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. She had an extraordinary childhood in ultra-conservative Texas, where her civil rights attorney father and activist mother taught their kids to be troublemakers.From the time Richards was a girl, she had a front-row seat to observe the rise of women in American politics. She watched her mother, Ann, transform from a housewife to an electrifying force in the Democratic party who made a name for herself as the straight-talking, truth-telling governor of Texas. Richards shares her story - from the joy and heartbreak of activism to the challenges of raising kids, having a life, and making change, all at the same time. She encourages readers to take risks, make mistakes, and make trouble along the way.
