Non-Fiction Biography
The bestselling author of The Dirty Girls Social Club
returns with an engrossing memoir about how falling in love
with a sexy cowboy turned her feminist beliefs upside down. Feminism was a religion in Alisa Valdes’s childhood home.
Betty Friedan and Gloria Steinem took the place of Barbies
and left Valdes impressed with a feminist ideology that
guided a prolific writing career—at twenty-two Valdes was
named one of the top feminist writers under thirty by the
editor of Ms Magazine. Yet despite her professional success, Valdes hit forty-two a
single mom and a serial dater of inadequate men in tweed
jackets—until she met the Cowboy. A conservative rancher,
the Cowboy held the traditional views on gender roles that
Valdes was raised to reject. Yet as she falls
head-over-spurs for him and their relationship finds
harmony, she finds the strength, peace, and happiness that
comes from embracing her femininity. From their first date the Cowboy makes her pulse race, and
she discovers that “when men… act like men rather than like
emasculated boys, you as a woman will find not only great
pleasure in submitting to them but also great growth as a
person.” Told with plenty of humor and candor, The Feminist
and the Cowboy will delight the many readers who made The
Pioneer Woman a bestseller—not to mention every woman who
dreams of being swept away by a rugged cowboy.
