5.0 out of 5 stars For fans of Paley's journalism, August 11, 2000
By 
Ms Edith Shillue (Somerville, MA. USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Just As I Thought (Paperback)
This is an excellent collection of Grace Paley's journalism and essays, revealing her continued and inspiring political activism. With the same sincerity, frankness and heartfelt committment she shows in her fiction, Paley shows us a world full of activists, ordinary citizens, cops and politicians. She has been involved in anti-war activities since her youth and, now in her later years, shows no signs of closing her powerfully observant eyes. Testimony about her experience in Viet Nam during the American war and after is an important contribution to historical studies. She shows no regret for her activism, which is great relief to this reader (tired as I am of seeing the 60s generation back off from their earlier work) and remains unapologetically truthful. A great inspiration for all women who live and work for 'the people'.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Story of a Troublemaker, December 29, 2003
By 
This review is from: Just As I Thought (Hardcover)
This book tells the story of Grace Paley's journey through her life as an activist, a mother, a daughter and a friend. She has lived a truly authentic life. The picture on the back of the book is worth a thousand words.

Read the chapter "Women's Pentagon Action Unity Statement" and stand up when you realize how few of the stated demands have been realized in 21 years. Stand up and join Grace Paley and become a troublemaker.
