Synopsis

Take action and shatter the glass ceiling with this empowering and optimistic feminist guide from the #1 New York Timesbestselling author of Dear Madam President.
In an era marked by a frustrating sense of stagnation for women, Jennifer Palmieri has found a way to move beyond the bounds of
patriarchy. Building on the lessons shared in Dear Madam President, Palmieri argues that women have gone as far as they can in a world made for men, and it is time to break from it.

She Proclaims declares what most women know in their souls but have yet to say out loud-that they deserve something better than a life where men hold a vast majority of power and women continue to be undervalued. It is a manifesto for the second century of feminism that no longer chases a man's elusive path but proclaims the value, ambition, and emotion women have had all along to change their world by changing how they engage in it.

This book celebrates the accomplishments and history of the women's movement, and through personal reflections and stories of other inspirational female leaders, Jennifer shares concrete advice and insights she's learned from her journey out of a man's world that will inspire you to boldly chart your own course in life.

Goodreads review by mack on January 07, 2024

not really what i was expecting. i like the premise of it but it was very white feminism-y, had personal stories from when she was working in the white house, much hillary clinton praise, adoration for the suffragettes, and the majority of the proposed changes happen in the workplace. this feels lik......more

Goodreads review by Emily B on August 17, 2022

Holy white feminism…..promotes the idea of “universal sisterhood” and barely acknowledges the additional barriers women of color face. Consistently referenced the suffrage movement, but failed to mention how white suffragettes strategically excluded black women from the movement to further their (wh......more

My review She Proclaims: Our Declaration of Independence from a Man's World, by Jennifer Palmieri This is the first non-fiction book I've reviewed in a significant time, so if this comes off as scattered and a little unfocused, please bear with me.  But when I say non-fiction, as I am going to make a......more

"Jennifer knows the fundamental truth: ambition is not a dirty word. Women must embrace their own ambition and dare to dream big. Women will do things differently, and that's a good thing. Together, we will break down the barriers standing in our way."—Senator Kirsten Gillibrand

"She Proclaims delivers a rousing 21st century prescription for a path forward that refutes the notion of gender equality as a zero sum game.

"She Proclaims is centered around the simple but profound recognition that the world as it is was never built for women.

As Jennifer writes, women have nothing left to prove; we are ready to build something better."—Cecile Richards, former president of Planned Parenthood and New York Times bestselling author of Make Trouble

"A spirited and accessible manifesto for women seeking to combat the patriarchy through both personal and collective action."—Publishers Weekly

"In Dear Madam President, Palmieri addressed the hypothetical first female president of the U.S., guided by her experience as former White House communications director for President Obama and director of communications for Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign. Now she expands her audience, encouraging every woman to realize her power...It will especially appeal to readers who responded to Sheryl Sandberg's Lean In."—Booklist
