Karen Schwabach's 'Starting from Seneca Falls' is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of feminism and the ongoing fight for equality. The book chronicles Schwabach's own journey as a feminist, from her early activism to her work as a leader in the movement. Along the way, she provides a unique insider's perspective on the challenges and triumphs of the feminist movement.

Schwabach begins her story with the Seneca Falls Convention of 1848, which is widely considered to be the birthplace of the women's rights movement. She describes how the convention inspired her to become involved in the fight for equality, and how she has worked to carry on the legacy of the early feminists throughout her career.

Schwabach has been involved in a wide range of feminist causes, including reproductive rights, economic equality, and violence against women. She has served as the president of the National Organization for Women (NOW) and the National Women's Political Caucus, and she is the founder of the Women's Media Center. Her work has helped to shape the feminist movement and has made a real difference in the lives of women around the world.

'Starting from Seneca Falls' is not just a personal memoir, but also a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of feminism. Schwabach provides a detailed account of the major events and figures of the movement, and she offers her own insights into the challenges and triumphs that feminists have faced over the years. The book is a reminder of how far we have come, and how much work still needs to be done to achieve full equality for women.

Schwabach's journey is an inspiration to all of us who are fighting for a more just and equitable world. Her story shows us that change is possible, and that we can make a difference if we work together. 'Starting from Seneca Falls' is a must-read for anyone who cares about women's rights and social justice.
