Alice Walker's 1997 collection of essays, speeches and letters spans more than two decades of her activism. She writes about her campaign against female genital mutilation, her support for Cuba, her dreadlocks, her spiritual life and the people who shaped her, and the struggles for civil rights and women's rights she joined from the 1960s on. Throughout, she argues that personal and political change are possible through commitment and love.
