All That I'm Asking - Paperback
Description
by Ellen Halter (Author)
It's the summer of 1968 when Alice Kaplan, a twenty-year-old college student, is assaulted by her chauvinistic boss during a dizzying date on a Ferris wheel. She fights him off and runs home only to find her father has suddenly died of a heart attack. Unable to continue her undergraduate education at Cornell, she is catapulted into the working world where opportunities for a young woman are scarce. Struggling against the sexism of the era, a grief-stricken and naive Alice-who longs to be a writer-stumbles into the tumultuous life of a countercultural newspaper reporter in New York City.
Set against the backdrop of the Vietnam War, second-wave feminism, and the gay rights movement, All That I'm Asking is a fast-paced novel where one woman's resilience and tenacity leads to liberation.
