Acknowledgments
I am thankful to all of the feminists who have fought hard to make the world a
more welcoming place for women.
I am grateful for the meaningful feedback from Kevin Hillstrom, the ABC-CLIO
Acquisitions Editor, and John Mugge for his detailed editing and thoughtful feed-
back. I am also grateful for John’s volunteer work at Planned Parenthood and the
Humane Society of Indianapolis! I am appreciative for Butler University graduate
Maggie Monson’s careful and detailed fact checking and editing.
I am thankful for the support of so many valuable friends who help keep me
sane. There are too many to mention, but I especially want to thank Kristin Swen-
son for being such a supportive department chair and loving friend. I am enor-
mously indebted to Allison Harthcock for her support, love, and friendship.
I am thankful to my family. To all of my big sisters—Cathy, Debbie, Cindy, and
Bonnie—thank you. Thanks also to my brothers-in-law, nephews, and niece. I am
also grateful for my beagle mutt, Edie, for keeping me warm and making me smile
every day.
I am most grateful for my incredibly supportive and loving parents, Sophie and
Leonard Savage. I love them immensely and always will.
