Heroes in my Head

In this riveting memoir, Judy Rebick, one of Canada’s best-known feminists, lays bare the public and private battles that have shaped her life. She documents two major decades in her life: the 1980s, when she became a high-profile spokesperson for the pro-choice movement during the fight to legalize abortion; and the 1990s, when she took on her biggest challenge as a public figure by becoming president of the National Action Committee on the Status of Women.

Here, for the first time, she also reveals the very private battles she waged during these important decades. The result is a fascinating, heartbreaking, but ultimately empowering story.

In acest memoriu captivant, Judy Rebick, una dintre cele mai cunoscute feministe din Canada, scoate la iveala bataliile publice si private care i-au modelat viata. Ea documenteaza doua decenii majore din viata ei: anii 1980, cand a devenit un purtator de cuvant important al miscarii pro-choice in timpul luptei pentru legalizarea avortului; si anii 1990, cand si-a asumat cea mai mare provocare ca persoana publica devenind presedinte al Comitetului National de Actiune pentru Statutul Femeii. Aici, pentru prima data, dezvaluie si bataliile foarte private pe care le-a dus in aceste decenii importante.
