“Alida Brill’s memoir ‘of a romantic feminist’ is so generous with intimate revelations . . . and juicy women’s movement gossip that it’s tempting to term it a guilty pleasure. But her insights, guts, and humor dispel guilt, leaving pure pleasure.”
—Robin Morgan
“Brill’s graceful, honest memoir juxtaposes a clear-eyed, strong-willed feminism with a yearning for glamorous escape.”
—Jennifer Baumgardner, author, Manifesta and Look Both Ways
“Alida Brill’s account of coming of age during the second wave of feminism offers an invaluable perspective to women raised on the Internet . . . Millennial women would do well to learn from Brill’s experience, and harness her energy to continue the fight for equality.”
—Julie Zeitlinger, author and creator, The F-Bomb
“A candid memoir of love, illness, and friendship and a justification for ‘romantic feminist love.’ A perceptive chronicle of hard-won wisdom.”
—Kirkus Reviews
“…isn’t romance an often bouncy ride? To Christian feminists who have an interest in the subject, I recommend this work by a Romantic Feminist. In Alida’s memoir, you are likely to hear some of your own stories, and in her conclusions, you may hear your own hopes for the rehabilitation of romantic love’s energy into an empowering force for both women and men.”
—Christian Feminism Today
“The story makes feminism something that is relatable as opposed to just something that was part of our history … Alida Brill brilliantly shows us that in this book.”
—Amy Synoracki, San Francisco Book Review
“In “Dear Princess Grace, Dear Betty,” you’ve added fresh insights and broadened the feminist conversation to include the Slow Love Movement. Thank you for your intellect and courage for wearing the moniker of feminist without apology.”
—Sally Susman, The East Hampton Star
