        Rowe-Finkbeiner (cofounder, MomsRising) creates a manual for women who are newly politically engaged and wish to advocate for women's issues. Using the 2017 Women's March as an entry point, the author explains key issues currently impacting women: income inequality, access to health care, maternal mortality, abortion restrictions, domestic violence, and mass incarceration. For each issue, she offers a concise overview with statistics and common criticisms interspersed with individual stories of women affected and a summary of desired changes. Refreshingly, Rowe-Finkbeiner is intersectional in her analysis; she breaks down how each issue affects women of color, but her treatment of the LGBTQIA+ population is sparse. Additionally, the chapters are written to encourage readers to advocacy and, owing to the narrative's nature, are necessarily devoid of deep analysis. Each chapter ends with a how-to guide on how to advocate for positive change based on Rowe-Finkbeiner's extensive experience. Policy recommendations and lists of supported advocacy groups are also included. VERDICT A crucial resource for women interested in beginning political advocacy work.--Rebekah Kati, Univ. of North Carolina, Chapel Hill
