Publisher's Summary
An intimate and inspiring memoir and call to action from Pat Mitchell - groundbreaking media icon, global advocate for women's rights, and co-founder and curator of TEDWomen
Raised in a small town in Georgia with no money or connections, Pat Mitchell challenged expectations to become one of media's most admired leaders - the first woman president of PBS and CNN productions, an award-winning film and TV producer, and the co-founder and curator of TEDWomen.
What the critics say
"Her impressive bio doesn't do her justice." (Forbes)
"For decades, Pat Mitchell has been on the media frontlines as an uncompromising force for good. She has used her platform to document injustices in a societal system plagued by sexism, racism, and economic inequalities. To the powers that be who are allowing human rights abuses to be exploited and overlooked, Pat Mitchell is a very dangerous woman indeed. Pat Mitchell makes being a dangerous woman a badge of honor, one that should be worn with pride." (Thandie Newton)
"This book is riveting history lesson, case study in fierce feminist leadership, truly useful advice from a trusted girlfriend, and radical call-to-action all rolled into one page-turning package. I inhaled Pat's life story, in large part, because I was blown away by her unshakable honesty - about power struggles at work, about men and money, about sex and violence. Apparently there's no time for fear or bullshit in your 70s. I can't wait." (Courtney E. Martin, author of The New Better Off: Reinventing the American Dream)
