Katie Roiphe, culture writer and author of The Morning After, shares a "beautifully written" (The New York Times Book Review) "astute memoir [that] reverberates with rich prose, crisp pacing, and self-compassion" (Publishers Weekly) and an essential discussion of how strong women experience their power.Told in a series of notebook entries, Roiphe weaves her often fraught personal experiences with divorce, single motherhood, and relationships with insights into the lives and loves of famous writers such as Sylvia Plath and Simone de Beauvoir. She dissects the way she and other ordinary, powerful women have subjugated their own power time and time again, and she probes brilliantly at the tricky, uncomfortable question of why. "Although Ms. Roiphe seems to be exposing her vulnerabilities here, she is actually, once again, demonstrating her unique brand of fearlessness" (The Wall Street Journal). The Power Notebooks is Roiphe's most vital, thought-provoking, and emotionally intimate work yet.

every morning at dropoff we have to show Ms. M a screenshot of the health screening questionnaire, it's always the last shot on my roll, anyway this morning I ran out of storage without realizing it and showed Ms. M a photo of the endpapers of The Power Notebooks by Katie Roiphe

It is often fascinating to witness Katie Roiphe reckon with her personal contradictions in "The Power Notebooks"; her ambivalence here feels more authentic, and therefore more persuasive, than her polemics. My review @WSJ https://t.co/27ua8dVQ42
