Michele Landsberg, author of Writing the Revolution describes her this way: 鈥淪triding into Taliban-held Afghanistan with a chador over her six-foot frame, playing high-fives with a traumatized child rape survivor in the Congolese jungle, marching with the defiant grandmothers in Swaziland, she explores the darkest reaches of women鈥檚 experience and brings back astonishing news of hope, challenge and change. From Tahrir Square to LA, Armstrong discovers that the sisters are doing it for themselves鈥攁nd revolutionizing the world.鈥�
