Girl Rising: Book One

By PL Pearson

As a child she lived in the grey world of 1950s America, hiding an internal violence encased from the outside world. She emerged into the Technicolor 1960s, emboldened, where brutality and love held awkward hands. The great and good died; the young protested racism, sexism and an unjust war. Sexuality was stripped of its cloak of inequality. The intelligent, independent Elizabeth Frakes embraced the awakening of the new times, but still held the dark secrets of her past inside. The personal and societal storm clouds expanded and merged, foreboding days and nights of turbulence, their ferocity ripping the heart out of America. Elizabeth buttoned her coat, pulled down her hat and opened the door from the darkness into the light.Girl Rising will make you laugh, cry, doubt and try. Lizzie Frakes will make you wonder and wish. This book could become a stanza in the 21st century anthem for women's rights, for those who test limits. It will take you places you might never have been otherwise. Enjoy the trip.
