Ms. Nice Guy Lost

Whatever your age, if you're an American woman, you lost -- bigly -- when Donald Trump won. We all did. The Trumpian assault on women can seem overwhelming at times. But by arming ourselves with information and focusing on the battles we must wage, American women of all ages -- especially millennials & Gen Z -- will have the ammunition we need to avoid our mothers' mistakes and move more forcefully toward full equality. Ms. Nice Guy Lost tells how we all can win.

Ms. Nice Guy Lost - Here's How Women Can Win is in part the author's own story. It's also the story of dozens of women she knows, and the story of hundreds of women she's read about. Because Ms. Nice Guy Lost is the story of every American woman. It is OUR story.

Ms. Nice Guy Lost details the many ways that our lives became more stressful and more challenging after Trump took over the White House. It itemizes the damaging assaults he and the GOP have targeted toward American women -- assaults that complicate how we grow up, complete our educations, join the workforce, seek equal opportunity and equal pay, obtain affordable healthcare, end sexual harassment and assault, and achieve leadership status in government and business.

By deftly weaving women's personal stories with facts, figures and news reports, Ms. Nice Guy Lost reminds us how far we'd progressed before November 8, 2016; illustrates just how much we've lost since then; and outlines what we must do today and tomorrow to seize and hold onto our rightful place in American society.
