5.0 out of 5 stars
This is a new edition of a '70s Boston women's how-to book!,
By
This review is from: Speaking Up: A Book for Every Woman Who Talks (Paperback)
Stone and Bachner were both active in the famously independent Eastern Massachusetts Chapter of the National Organization for Women in the early 1970s. Bacher was also moderator of one of the earliest women's radio talk shows in the Boston area, WBUR's "If A Woman Answers. . . Hang On." For 25 years, individually and together, they have taught consciousness raising techniques and public speaking in a variety of venues and occasionally even for profit. This updated edition of their 1976 handbook suggests a solution to every problem a fledgling public speaker may face (including how to manage hostile questions), and not incidentally weaves in a great deal of anecdotal material concerning (1) the history of women speaking in public and (2) the shift in public manners that a genuine restructuring of the relations between the sexes requires. Highly recommended for its second-wave historical as well as its practical value.

I read it once a year to brush up. I also use it as a reference book for specific topics.
