ReviewsPraise for The Girl I Left Behind “An important book. I know of no book like it.” --Jill Ker Conway, Author Road from Coorain and A Woman’s Educaiion “Bolstered by contemporary statistics and an excellent memory, Nies details the life changes she experienced alongside countless other women during a decade of secrecy, boys’ club politics and outright lies…The book’s narrative style—blunt, unflinching, honest—serves the story well…educational and entertaining, with a wry, ironic wit evident throughout.” --Kirkus Review, “Nies combines personal memoir with period history...a highly valuable first-person record.” --Publishers Weekly Refreshingly candid…Nies’ personal take on the ripple effects of the women’s movement – both on those involved directly and those who followed – is honest and engaging.” -Booklist “A dense and energetic public and private history [for our] ambitious daughters who have no idea how recent ancient history can be. -- Boston Globe “Nies combines personal memoir with period history...a highly valuable first-person record.” --Publishers Weekly The life experiences she relates so freshly (including political parallels to this era’s war) make this book captivating for students of the political and cultural history of the Sixties. Highly recommended…” --Library Journal |
