{"product_id":"9781930722385","title":"Roar Softly and Carry a Great Lipstick: 28 Women Writers on Life, Sex, and Survival","description":"\u003cbr\u003eThe title of this anthology riffs on Teddy Roosevelt's phallocentric motto: \"Speak softly, and carry a big stick.\" Few American women today are interested in cultivating a Teddy-esque machismo--but in Roar Softly... contemporary women writers recount their own mano a mano encounters with lingering sexism, Superwoman schedules, marital mess-ups, and a passel of other anti-female forces. Not only do their stories offer reassurance that our own egregious experiences are not unique, but they also suggest better battle strategies—-more womanly battle strategies, if you will--for those who shrink from the bald \"muscle your way through\" approach. As each essay is intended to demonstrate, we can overcome the sex-specific challenges of our lives not only with strength (\"Roar Softly\" ), but also with grace (\"Great Lipstick\").","brand":"New World Library","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47039575228656,"sku":"9781930722385","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781930722385_p0.jpg?v=1763638300","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781930722385","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
