Description
On January 21, 2017, three million people boarded buses, Sharpie'd signs, and took to the streets as part of the largest protest in American history. In Washington, D.C.; Boston; Buenos Aires; and beyond, marchers from eighty-two countries and all seven continents rose in solidarity to share a common message: Hear our voice. This is the definitive history of the Women's March, a front-row seat to the genesis, planning, and execution of one of history's most galvanizing movements, and a look at how women are moving forward.
Inside: Interviews with 30 organizers of the historic protest • Essays ABOUT THE MARCH by 22 notable writers and those who were there • never-before-published photographs of the historic gathering from around the world.
