\nfrom Seal Press<\/p>\nNona and Emma have done what I suspect many women, young and old, have
\nalways dreamed of doing: Hit the open road with nothing more than a
\npartner in crime, a full tank of gas, a playlist of good music, a pad
\nof paper, a camera, and an unyielding curiosity. The duo – self-
\ndescribed progressives from New York with impeccable credentials in
\nEast Coast establishment feminism\u2014aren’t content to let their
\nbackgrounds define the history of gender equality in the U.S…. or
\nits future. Instead, they take\u2014nay, create\u2014the opportunity to
\nexplore the nooks and crannies of their country, their female
\ncompatriots, their friendship, and their own psyches through a Thelma
\n& Louise-like trip around the United States in which they interview
\nand photograph a diverse sampling of American women. Unlike the title
\ncharacters of that beloved 1991 film however, Nona and Emma’s journey
\nis notable in that they are traveling to, not away, from something,
\nnamely, an understanding of contemporary feminism, both its successes
\nand limitations. Girldrive is part travel diary, part social document,
\npart art exhibit and, sadly, part eulogy; not only do I recommend it
\nhighly, I have to admit that I’m insanely jealous I didn’t think of it
\nfirst.
\n\u2014Anna Holmes, Founder\/Editor, Jezebel.com<\/a><\/p>\nGirldrive is the first book on feminism I\u2019ve seen based on the Web 2.0 model: short conversational stories, striking pictures, multi-racial. I wanted to click \u201cshare\u201d every time I started reading another young woman\u2019s reflection on gender and politics and how the two intertwine with race, class and geographical experiences. It reminds me that feminism (like this country) has its strength in its diversity, in its many voices. Girldrive is truly a roadmap to feminism today and a must-read for anyone who wants to know where its future is headed.

Girldrive is a fascinating, fiery, dramatic whirlwind tour through
\nmodern-day women\u2019s lives. Aronowitz and Bernstein treat feminism both
\nas sacred and something that can, and is, being refashioned, and in
\nsome cases, dismissed in favor of other ways of advancing change.
\nThankfully, they don\u2019t only talk to self-described \u201cfeminists,\u201d but to
\nall sorts of women of different ages, races, sexualities, and belief
\nsystems. Girldrive is very likely to make you excited, impassioned,
\nand, at times, infuriated–and that\u2019s a good thing. Rather than
\nhanding you preformatted answers, Girldrive lets its diversity of
\nopinion speak to you, rather than for you.
