Girldrive: Criss-Crossing America, Redefining Feminism

What do young women care about? What are their worries, hopes, and ambitions? Have they heard about feminism, and do they relate to it? These are some of the questions Chicago journalist Nona Willis Aronowitz and photographer Emma Bee Bernstein set out to answer in a cross-country road trip that became a regional chronicle of the struggles, concerns, successes, and insights of women grappling to find, define, and fight for gender equity. The result is a smart, thoughtful, and uncensored portrayal of a cross-section of women whose opinions and feelings on feminism are as diverse as their backgrounds and areas of interest.
