Sales will support the programming at the SCC&L* \n“This book is a treasure\, especially for a second-wave American feminist who was thrilled to learn of the boldness and courage of our Danish sisters at the very start of the 1970s women’s movement. I can’t recommend it highly enough.” \n—Vivian Gornick\, author of Fierce Attachments \nPernille Ipsen was professor of gender and women’s studies and history at the University of Wisconsin–Madison for fifteen years and is now a full-time writer. The Danish-language version of this book\, Et åbent øjeblik (An open moment)\, was published in 2020 and was awarded the Montana Prize for literature\, one of Denmark’s top literary prizes.
