The president of the National Organization for Women follows a long tradition of women who have created their own way in the world - but here she speaks frankly of her own struggle for self-determination and empowerment, of the forces that shaped her and, ultimately, how she herself came to answer the questions "What does this woman want?"Patricia Ireland explores how her own journey mirrors the changes so many women have made as they have remade the world over the past decades.
