    About this ebook

    The toughest place for women to plant the flag of equality is in our own
    home, starting with the way we raise our children, interact with our
    mate, talk about ourselves in the mirror, or allow friends, family, and
    institutions to blame or shame us. After decades of putting ourselves in
    second place at home and work, we often find “being secondary” has
    become a habit that’s hard to break, because so many people expect it of
    us.






    For fifty years, Cheryl and I have navigated our domestic,
    social, and business worlds, without the psychological and fiscal
    support of a husband, son, or live-in male, and still managed to have
    rewarding home lives and successful careers. We know many smart, kind,
    and talented men. We’ve also encountered many male coworkers and bosses
    who sexually harassed, physically attacked, or verbally denigrated us
    during the decades when HR stood for nothing more than human resilience.






    Our experiences have crystalized for us the way in which
    society mobilizes money, power, and sex to keep women, lesbian and
    straight, unequal and on a short leash.






    Like the horse, with
    whom we women share a special bond, women can be hurt but not broken.
    Once women realize how and why we continue to surrender our equality,
    park our power, and even forego our own sexual satisfaction, we’ll Grab
    It Back!






    Pam McKissick and Cheryl Gregory have been partners
    for twenty-eight years. They live, write, and ride on their horse ranch
    in the Midwest.
