From Anne Peterson, author of Too Fat, Too Slutty, Too Loud: Millenials are pissed off and burnt out and ready for change - and (this book) brilliantly profiles the leaders of our own generation who will make it happen. These leaders have been influenced (and radicalized) by pivotal millenial experiences, whether witnessing 9/11 as a young adult or taking out staggering amounts of student debt - which is part of what makes this book feel so relatable, infuriating, and hopeful, all at once. From the New York Times Book Review: Alter does an excellent job detailing - with persuasive data -- what has shaped and motivated this young generaton so far...Thanks to her timely book we can have a better understanding of why an entire generation was set back and what's driving it now.
