Cobbs, who lives part-time in San Diego, says feminism was born in America during Revolutionary times
Here’s a little insider secret: Almost every writer, whether they’re a bestselling novelist or diligent historian, thinks their new book is their best book.
“I just decided that it was important to not write about things that you were personally passionate about or that you’ve been personally involved in,” Cobbs says, who has mostly focused on topics such as U.S. foreign relations in her previous books. “It happens on the left and it happens on the right. It seems too important to me, particularly now, that we understand the values that unite us as a people. Because if we can take those things for granted, then we can argue in more civil ways on the areas where we disagree,” she said.The subtitle is a succinct encapsulation of the book, but one that doesn’t fully encompass the stories presented in the book.
Cobbs was also keen on recognizing and writing about women who might not be household names, but who still played an instrumental role in the cause of equality. Another aspect of “Fearless Women” that particularly stands out is how fluidly readable the book is in its style and presentation.
