Publisher's summary

Feisty is the story of a woman with attitude—told in short reflections that capture a life of awakening activism. From her exploits as a five-year-old New Jersey cowboy to hosting Gloria Steinem in Alabama and an awkward drink with a young Clarence Thomas, Jean Peelen shares her civil rights journey and the most vulnerable moments in her life.

This book is funny, sad, deep, and wide. Feisty shines a light on what is possible when a woman rejects the roles she is expected to fulfill and finds her own path.

Unique, relatable, entertaining memoir

A fascinating memoir by Jean Peelen. Her stories (chapters) are unique, interesting, and entertaining. It is relatable to every woman of our generation or our mother's (I'm 60). Often her chapters left me hanging without a tidy conclusion. After I got used to that I enjoyed wondering what happened, or was grateful that the details are often better left unsaid. An enjoyable read.
