“Debut author Jackson recounts incidents of sexual harassment, revealing the generational wounds that the #MeToo movement seeks to heal. . . . An unflinching memoir that offers vital American history.” 

—Kirkus Reviews



“As a Silicon Valley refugee myself, I deeply understand how challenging it is to be an ambitious woman in a male-dominated field (and world). Kudos to Jackson for capturing these challenges with spirit and hope. A must-read for all women who have ever bumped into the glass ceiling and broken through. Highly recommended!”

—Stephanie Chandler, author and CEO of the Nonfiction Authors Association

 

“This powerful memoir will help other women, in spite of anti-female adversity, overcome pain, self-blame, and shame. It will be especially beneficial to vulnerable young women as they try to make their way in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM).”

—Beverly Engel, LMFT, best-selling author of I’m Saying No! Standing up Against Sexual Assault, Sexual Harassment, and Sexual Pressure

 

“This is a critical book that all corporations should study in order to evolve their companies into a place where women want to work. Lucinda Jackson tells it like it is, and her takeaways and review of legal precedents are relevant to all women and men who work in corporations. Her chronology of the past seven decades teaches us how women are silenced by men and by their own pain, and how difficult it is to break through social and legal barriers to realize their professional and personal dreams. We have a long way to go, but Jackson tells us how we can get there."

—Silvia Garrigo, Global Vice President, Millicom International

 

“In the riveting Just a Girl: Growing up Female and Ambitious, Dr. Lucinda Jackson vividly describes how she surmounted harassment, discrimination, and dirty tricks on America’s farms and at top corporations to become a respected scientist and corporate leader. But rather than focusing on victimhood, she forges powerful recommendations for how women can overcome sexism and pursue successful careers in science. Readers of this book will be inspired to redouble society’s efforts to create a more fair and equitable culture for both women and men.”

—Cheryl Karpowicz, Senior Vice President, Ecology and Environment, Inc.



“Lucinda Jackson attains shero status as she chronicles her triumph over sexual harassment that is ever present as air. A corporate scientist and academic, Jackson compellingly weaves her personal story with society’s awakening and progress toward addressing this scourge.”

—Andrea Jarrell, author of I'm the One Who Got Away: A Memoir



“Just a Girl needed to be written. It reads like a memoir and keeps the reader captivated; however, it is for all professional women, especially those who have worked in corporate America and lived through the sexual harassment, double standard, and pain of having to mold themselves into a male version of themselves. This book doesn’t leave you angry or feeling hopeless. Instead, it offers solutions for how women can learn to stand in their authentic selves, have a stronger voice, and raise boys to be more conscious and compassionate.”

—Kaya Singer, author of Wiser and Wilder: A Soulful Path for Visionary Women Entrepreneurs



“Jackson’s frank, to-the-point writing style, peppered with humor and expletives in just the right places is a total joy to imbibe—and [her] bravery in speaking the truth is astounding. . . . Sharing hope, she offers grounded, practical tools to actually move the needle.” 

—Mary Brooks, founder of M2-One

"Stephanie’s work is wonderful, a kind of loping swirl full of pop references, half of which I don’t understand. But that doesn’t matter because the knit is strong material yet loose, leaving lots of space, through which a sense of reality floats and stays with me. In an age of con and artifice, I want this."—Judy Grahn



"From its first lines, Stephanie Young’s Pet Sounds sets out to blur the artificial edges of heart and blood, economics and desire, basketball, adulthood, abuse, protest, music, endings, enemies, queerness, and captive orca whales. Sited in the betweenness that haunts middle age, middle income, mid-career and mid-relationship—when those positions feel discovered rather than planned and executed ('the path direct, had failed to keep it')—these are ultimately love poems, written from and to a human pair bond, a resilient one, one that lets the bullshit in and survives it, one where 'nothing fits' somehow fits; in some ways, then, they are about that most slippery, sparkling thing: happiness despite."—Anna Moschovakis



"Pet Sounds is a long love poem written in and out of the collective of us. It truly has a surfing kind of energy, doesn’t get bunched up for long, even pleasantly gets a little specific and gross, but bobs again. Invariably she deals sharp and close because Stephanie’s seriously interested in a total ride through relationship and humanity, song, family and what else."—Eileen Myles



"Dear Stephanie, Your book is beautiful. Out of middle-aged bewilderment you talk about what used to be called 'class' or what once was called 'politics' (right now, we are are not too sure of the words for these organizations of people), how life comes ultimately to be known by/through/as what we care for. It is the power of the nothingness between us – call it love, or love songs – that is the center of all sensation and its interpretation. 'I found myself again / climbing / through a dark wood, wellbutrin / there were no good choices / and they wouldn’t answer my

email'—indeed. Yet, the choices are made. How every choice is a burst of light, makes more light in the small places, which are, then, illuminated."—Simone White



“Young’s book is a book about the pain of witness / the pain of becoming a part of a system you can’t help but believe in, despite the fact that you’re watching it tear itself / and the bodies inside of it / to pieces. THE UNIVERSITY IS IN FLAMES. We all know this, I think, reading Young’s book again, a couple of months later in my concrete adjunct office. The University that is in flames is also the University that gave many of us the power to understand what flames were in the first place. It gave many of us the ability to understand what power was and how we could see it for ourselves or as a subversive part of ourselves.”—Carrie Lorig, Entropy Magazine



“Young hovers and waits, worries and writes, enmeshed in a Bay Area poetry community that, to her, crackles with potential seismic energy she nevertheless fears may forever fail to unleash the earthquake that would justify its pressures and change the topography of power and privilege whose violence mars the utopia she can almost grasp.”—Matt Longabucco, Jacket 2



“Stephanie Young’s writing finds company with a small handful of poets practicing a form of institutional critique (of poetic institutions, as well as philanthropy, and university politics in her case). Her body is often the site of her critiques.”—Noel Black, Hyperallergic

O Caledonia is a Gothic coming-of-age story, the Brontes and Poe via Dodie Smith and Edward Gorey. Funny, surprising, exquisitely written -and brilliant on the smelly, absurd, harsh business of growing-up.

Those Who Are Saved is a gorgeously written, emotional novel about the unshakable bonds of mothers and daughters, even in the darkest times. Spanning characters and continents during WWII, Alexis Landau's vividly drawn book swept me up into the lives of Vera, Sasha, and Lucie. An unforgettable story of heartbreak, but ultimately of hope, resilience, and love - I could not put this book down!
