Description
CNN news anchor Brooke Baldwin explores the phenomenon of women "huddling"—in politics, Hollywood, activism, the arts, sports, and everyday friendships—to make changes, solve problems, and to inspire, amplify, and support one another.
What happens when women stop "leaning in" and start leaning on each other instead?
After reporting on the 2017 Women's March, CNN news anchor Brooke Baldwin set out on a journey across America to investigate the power of the "huddle"—a space (in the workplace and beyond) where women lean on each other for support, friendship, empowerment, and the strength to enact meaningful change. Beyond the headline-making huddles of recent years such as the #MeToo movement, the Time's Up initiative, and the 2018 midterm elections, when women won a historic number of seats across the country, Baldwin tells the stories of women of all ages, races, religions and socio-economic backgrounds who are huddling in all segments of society.
A mix of journalism and personal narrative, Huddle explores the benefits of all-girls learning environments, such as Karlie Kloss's Kode with Klossy and Reese Witherspoon's Filmmaker Lab for Girls in which young women are given the freedom to make mistakes and find their confidence. The book also looks at the tactics employed by huddles of women who work in male-dominated industries including a group of Democratic Congresswomen, a huddle of African American judges in Harris County, Texas, and an all-female writers room in Hollywood.
Baldwin speaks to trusted pioneers such as Gloria Steinem and Madeleine Albright as well as contemporary trailblazers like Stacey Abrams and Ava DuVernay. Baldwin shines a light on professionals such as Chef Dominique Crenn and sports agent Lindsay Colas, who use their success to amplify other women in their fields. Baldwin also explores huddles dedicated to making seismic change, including indigenous women saving the planet, mothers fighting for sensible gun laws, America's favorite female athletes (Megan Rapinoe, Hilary Knight, and Sue Bird to name a few) agitating for equal pay, and female teachers rallying to improve their working conditions. By examining female friendships as well as the bond between women who practice self-care together, Baldwin reveals how women are becoming more intentional about the healing power of friendship and solidarity in their personal spheres as well.
Along the way, Baldwin takes readers on her own personal journey of growing up in the South and climbing the ladder in a male-dominated industry during a nationwide "huddle drought." Her story is one of learning to lean on female friends and colleagues and eventually transforming from a journalist to a champion for women. She also shares her personal story of coronavirus and how it underscored for her the importance of connection.

Anecdotes and a unique guide for women mostly
I used to watch a lot of Brooke Baldwin on CNN, so when I heard she was writing a book, I was pretty excited.
On her very last show, she recommends getting “uncomfortable” as a way of growth and if you’re a man listening to this book, you may experience that as it is geared towards women in its application and execution.
However, I highly recommend it if you’re a fan of Brooke as it will give you insight into her philosophy, resilience and storytelling~it basically talks about vulnerability, becoming disciplined in cultivating relationships with women and empowerment-all through the lens of change and mass movements initiated and led by women.
As she says, it’s 80% journalism and 20% memoir. I feel like I grew an empathy muscle while consuming this content. As we all know, muscle building is not a effortless process but there are tangible results. I think her 10 ways to huddle at the end of the book was insightful as well as her explanation behind key phrases like “throwing down the ladder” and “BSD”.
There are many things I could highlight but 2 standout stories for me involve a woman that was stabbed 40 times (and survived) and another woman from Idaho who horseback rides with unflinching grace through all kinds of bristles and what not.
Brooke’s narration is top notch so any fan of hers will enjoy listening to every minute of it as they hear her recount her encounters with several accomplished women in various fields.
The key takeaway for me is that people can be disciplined, mindful and intentional about strengthening their relationships with the people they know, and having the courage to connect with people that don’t look like them and repeating the process. If you can imagine how a seesaw operates, and equivocate it to women taking turns lifting each other up, or someone jumping high (or starting their own movement) but having someone propel them if/when they fall down you will have grasped the essence of this book. If the seesaw was a colossal, collaborative effort (hundreds of women on seesaws) you’ll get a good picture. “Permanent chosen family” or “Huddle”.
Lastly, for a first time book writer, it’s exceptionally well done and you will learn something from it.

Overuse of the word Huddle
Great voice for the narration, interesting story lines. Although, please give me a dime for every time the word huddle or huddling was used in this collection of self experiences, reflections, interviews and advice for productive friendships. I just kept thinking, I get it Brooke, the name of the book is Huddle.

TOO ONE SIDED POLITICAL
This book isn't for all women. It's too bad. She may have good things to say. I couldn't even get an hour in.

What I needed when I needed it
A fantastic breakdown of women relying on each other and moving mountains. I so appreciate most present stories, and our recent history as well as stories that start with the civil rights era and moving forward. I appreciate the personal nuances shared by Brooke and how we ended up here. Excellent book I can’t recommend enough.

Disappointing
I love the concept, but the author spent far too much time name-dropping celebrity connections and focused on herself. The text was also in sore need of an editor to eliminate repetition of phrase and scenarios.

Loved!
I loved this book! I realized I’m in a huddle, a semi huddle that can be nurtured, and the beginning of a huddle that will grow. This book is for all women.

Brooke Baldwin’s book the Huddle has inspired me to go the extra mile to spend the time with my girlfriends.
The Huddle has opened my eyes wide open on how important it is to your mental health to have a real connection with your female friends. This book is an excellent read on how we can really show up for the women in our lives. Rather it be personally and or professionally. Show up. I thought I was great in my different huddles but I can certainly do better! Thanks to Brooke for her expert advice in the Huddle. I highly recommend this read. We love our friends they make us happy! We can share everything and every feeling and come out so loved and refreshed shinning like a diamond. No matter how busy we all are we must put ourselves first and make it a priority to Huddle up with girlfriends. That relationship with your girlfriends is one of a kind a blessing. Such a bond that you will not need a psychiatrist. So friends out there text,email or call your friends frequently stay connected. Huddle up with your friends that’s how we love and support our girlfriends.
