Marguerite Guzmán Bouvard's memoir reveals a quiet but rebellious nature whose journey starts at an early age and leads to feminism. Before the women's movement, at a time when it was uncommon for a woman to attend graduate school, she earned her doctorate and fought for a career as a professor of political science. She actively promoted human rights for women in different cultures. As a wife, mother, and educator, she explored different religions and traditions, documenting them in poems and essays, recognizing verity and value in them all. In this inspiring book, Marguerite describes how she crafted a fulfilling life while dealing with chronic illness. She demonstrates how one can positively change the world despite daunting obstacles and challenges. Limiting and demeaning terms and labels are confronted and dispelled.
