More Praise for The Girl I Left Behind

“An important book. I know of no book like it.”
--Jill Ker Conway, Author Road from Coorain and A Woman’s Educaiion

“Bolstered by contemporary statistics and an excellent memory, Nies details the life changes she experienced alongside countless other women during a decade of secrecy, boys’ club politics and outright lies…The book’s narrative style—blunt, unflinching, honest—serves the story well…educational and entertaining, with a wry, ironic wit evident throughout.”
--Kirkus Review

“Nies combines personal memoir with period history...a highly valuable first-person record.”
--Publishers Weekly

Refreshingly candid…Nies’ personal take on the ripple effects of the women’s movement – both on those involved directly and those who followed – is honest and engaging.”
- Booklist

"A dense and energetic public and private history [for our] ambitious daughters who have no idea how recent ancient history can be."
--Amanda Heller, Bost
