Description
Florynce Kennedy's memoir offers a unique perspective on her life as a lawyer, feminist, and civil rights advocate. Born in Kansas City in the 1920s, Kennedy recounts her journey from graduating at one of the first Black women to do so to representing notable figures such as Billie Holiday and Charlie Parker. Kennedy's activism spanned multiple fronts, including the fight against sexism and racism through her founding of the Media Workshop, the Feminist Party, and the Coalition Against Racism and Sexism. She also played a key role in liberalizing New York State abortion laws and was involved in the creation of Abortion Rap. Through her memoir, Kennedy shares her experiences with guerrilla warfare tactics on the picket line and in the streets of New York. With a unique voice that has entertained TV audiences for years, Kennedy presents her case to readers in this engaging memoir.
