One of the most common questions I receive from women is, "How can I take action?" So many women are concerned about the legislation and ideology being embraced by politicians, the media, and institutions, yet feel helpless to make a difference.  A new book — Practical Politics for Bold Women — is for women who want to be heard, but may not be sure where to start.

I spoke with author and women’s rights campaigner Natasha Chart about the book and how women can take action effectively.
