Not One of the Boys: Living Life as a Feminist by Brenda Feigen

In this powerful and candid memoir, Not One of the Boys chronicles Brenda Feigen’s extraordinary journey as one of America’s pioneering feminist lawyers and activists. From her early days at Harvard Law School—when she was one of only a handful of women—to co-founding the National Women’s Political Caucus with Gloria Steinem and helping to launch the ACLU’s Women’s Rights Project alongside Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Feigen’s life traces the evolution of modern feminism from the inside.

With wit, courage, and intellectual clarity, she reveals the battles fought within boardrooms, courtrooms, and even the feminist movement itself. More than a personal story, this is a testament to resilience, conviction, and the unyielding pursuit of equality. Not One of the Boys is both a vivid historical document and an intimate portrait of what it means to live life fearlessly on one’s own terms.
