“This marvelous anthology shows the vital role outrider women
played in changing our world—often overlooked, they were the heart
of the ’60s revolution.”
—Brenda Knight, author of Women of the Beat Generation
“Times They Were A-Changing is the book long missing from the
packed second-wave feminism shelf. Finally, the women you never
heard from are speaking in their own powerful voices about how each
pushed America toward greater equality and justice. If you are a
woman over a certain age, you will find yourself in this book’s
stories. If you are a woman of any other age, you will find your
own story informed and enriched by these beautifully written,
honest, and evocative essays.”
—Gloria Feldt, Cofounder and President of Take the Lead, former
President,Planned Parenthood Federation of America
