“I’m not giving up—and neither should you,” Hillary Clinton told her supporters following her defeat in the 2016 presidential election. On January 21, 2017 millions of women and men across America marched in opposition against the president-elect. Millions more around the world joined in the protests, which became the first mass action of a new women’s political resistance movement. In the collection of essays titled We Rise to Resist: Voices From a New Era in Women’s Political Action the authors shares 36 voices in this emerging movement discussing a broad range of topics—activism, healthcare, education, LGBTQIA issues, the environment—and other concerns affecting the political and cultural environment now and for future generations.
