Standing Up - by Ellen Bravo (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

As they stand up, slow down, form unions, leave an abusive relationship or just stir up good trouble, the characters in this multi-generation novel entertain and enlighten, make us laugh and rage, and encourage us to love deeply, that we may continue the fight for justice.

"So much fiction is about escape and fantasy, but these powerful Tales of Struggle will enrich our real and daily lives." ─ Gloria Steinem

"What a wonderful story of class, class struggle and regular people. The story is about struggle and change, but also about joy and humor. Great work! ─ Bill Fletcher, Jr., author of Solidarity Divided

"Great storytelling about standing up to injustice, filled with hope and powered by love and human interdependence, where we tell each other, "Yes, you can," and tell our oppressors, "No, you won't." - Ai-jen Poo, Director of the National Domestic Workers Alliance
