But…what’s that noise? And how can the animals make it stop?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"Wuaaah, wuaaah, wuaaah.\" The noise goes on and on. Cuddled up inside an abandoned box, someone is sobbing, and one by one, the animals try to comfort the little one. But with each offering—of a blanket, some fresh water, mango, and so on—the small creature settles only briefly before wailing once again. Finally, Tiger disappears and returns with the little elephant’s mother. Peace is restored, until… \"Wuu, wuu, wuuuuuu,\" cries a child in a nearby village. This time, it is the baby elephant who solves the problem by yelling out, \"That child must have a kiss!

And unsurprisingly, No More Nice Girls is no different. In this book, her work is meticulously researched and brilliantly argued, and she’s not afraid to confront us with information and perspectives that are as uncomfortable as they are true (see: very). That said, McKeon’s ability to engage with instead of dictating to is powerful and unifying, specifically as she provides the type of ammunition needed for readers to abandon existing comfort zones or truths fabricated for self-preservation. She urges us to learn and listen (but actually listen). She’s patient but forceful in offering her many (many) facts. I’ve never liked the word nice, and liked the idea of aspiring to be nice even less. Thankfully, McKeon makes nice a non-word — a notion or descriptor that means nothing and does nothing. She sets us free of the rhetoric associated with niceness and exchanges the burden of playing by the rules for the data, statistics, and emphasis on intersectionality that will help us, collectively, to obliterate them.” — \u003cstrong\u003eAnne\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","OtherText_Accolades_1_Auth":"Anne","OtherText_Accolades_2":"\u003cp\u003e“Lauren McKeon is one of the most important journalists writing about feminist issues in this country today.

Her nuanced and intentional writing is also fun to read. Having developed her writing for online audiences as well as for readers of long-form print journalism, McKeon’s prose style — sharp, honest, and entertaining — is persuasive, and will appeal especially to readers in their twenties, thirties, and forties.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTIMED TO COINCIDE WITH TWO SIGNIFICANT DATES:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eWe will publish the book on March 3, 2020, to coincide with International Women’s Day on March 8.

I’d shown up that night to my weekly class expecting to walk out sweaty and exalted. If America elected a woman as its leader (as all the pundits and polls suggested the country would) then, surely, Canada would follow. Anything felt possible. I imagined a cascade of broken status quos — belligerent white men in crisp suits falling like dominos. But over the next hour disbelief replaced excitement. At one point, our class melted away from our workout stations to pool, lost, around the TV. Women muttered shit, what, no, over and over again. That night, I couldn’t sleep. I stayed seated on my bed, cross-legged, stunned. It didn’t matter that I wasn’t American, or that one of the wokest men on Earth supposedly ran my own country. Electing a blatant misogynist to one of the world’s most powerful positions symbolized something: we were fucked.\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003cbr \/\u003eSince then, the question of women and power has undergone something of a renaissance — largely because we’ve been forced to confront, once again, how much of it women still don’t have. Quite literally overnight, many of us went from believing, with good reason, that we’d never been closer to equality — and power — to reckoning with just how far away from both women truly were. In response, women woke up, gathered, and demanded change. All around the world, they protested. The momentum from the Women’s March on Washington built into #MeToo and a very public reckoning with the everyday ways in which women’s power and autonomy are constantly undermined.\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003cbr \/\u003eWatching it all, I was galvanized. But I also felt as though I was stuck in a not-so-fun house of magic mirrors. Come one, come all! Watch as the road to equality shrinks, stretches, distorts! Sometimes it seemed as if our fury, powerful in its own right, could propel us anywhere we wanted to go: into public office, into the C-suite, into a world in which we had bodily autonomy. Other times, as the anti-feminist backlash grew louder, bolder, and more expansive, it seemed as though women were in our most precarious spot yet. I began to think of feminist power as a paradox: from some vantages, we seemed closer than ever to achieving it; from others, we’d never been farther away.\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003cbr \/\u003eI have spent the bulk of my journalism career investigating the ways in which women navigate, and in many cases push back against, the expectations of the world around them. In doing this, I now realize, what I’ve really been asking, consciously or not, is how women disrupt and reimagine power structures, how they gain power both in and over their lives. Many of the women I’ve interviewed are pioneers in their fields, often ones dominated by men, and you could say they are subverting from within. Others are pushing at established power structures from the outside, rallying from the grassroots. They are all inspiring and amazing. But is what they’re doing working? These past few years have illuminated some stark, and seemingly contradictory, truths. Despite immense progress, no amount of success can immunize women against the toxic, sexist environments around them, and it is not uncommon for women to be utterly alone: one of few in their field, the only woman in management at their company, or the only one breaking a certain convention.\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003cbr \/\u003eThe more I heard their stories, the more I wondered: Even if a woman won the next American or Canadian federal election, what would that victory gain us? Or, put another way: Do we have the very concept of women and power all wrong? I’m not saying I want all the feminists to give up the fight, retreat to their kitchens, and let one pucker-mouthed man and his acolytes burn the planet. I want women to attain the same powerful positions afforded to men, in equal numbers. But it’s also dangerous to see that status, in and of itself, as a panacea to centuries of Western civilization, all built on foundational histories of sexism, misogyny, and violence against women. A woman prime minister certainly wouldn’t “cancel out” this seemingly new brand of misogyny, dredged up for all the world to see. In fact, the past few years have revealed that any woman, or member of another equity-seeking group, who stands where white, straight, cisgender men usually do is certain to face violent backlash. Or, as University of Cambridge classics professor Mary Beard argues in her short manifesto Women and Power, throughout time women have been placed in, or near to, positions of power simply to fail. To illustrate her point, Beard borrows from Greek mythology, referring to Clytemnestra, who rules over her city while her husband fights in the Trojan War, only to be murdered by her own children after she refuses to cede her new leadership upon his return (well, okay, she also killed her husband rather than go back down the patriarchal chain). Or more recently, Beard suggests, consider Theresa May or Hillary Clinton. For women, power is messy from every angle.\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003cbr \/\u003ePerhaps, then, it’s finally time to start rethinking feminism’s one-time end goals, to ditch our old checklists for equality. Yes, let’s not abandon our strategizing toward getting more women to the top, but let’s also examine a deeper, less considered problem: that is, what the view from “the top” looks like for women once they’re there. What if we could redefine not just women’s path to power but the very concept of power itself? Or more radical yet: What if we stopped focusing on playing the game better, ditched the rulebook, and refused to play their game at all? What would power even look like to us if we weren’t always visualizing it within the context of men?\u003c\/p\u003e","OtherText_Previous_review_q_0":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eREVIEW COPIES:\u003c\\\/strong\u003e\u003c\\\/p\u003e\\r\\n\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\\\/li\u003e\\r\\n\u003cli\u003eBooklist\u003c\\\/li\u003e\\r\\n\u003cli\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\\\/li\u003e\\r\\n\u003c\\\/ul\u003e","OtherText_Review_0":"\u003cp\u003e“[Lauren McKeon’s] vital, keenly insightful work is a must-read.” — \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eBooklist\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","OtherText_Review_0_Src":"Booklist","OtherText_Review_1":"\u003cp\u003e“McKeon uses plain language and an army of external sources to illuminate the puppet strings of power . . .
