In Shrewed, Globe and Mail columnist Elizabeth Renzetti asks the questions many of us ask as women: Why are there so few women in politics? Why must we feel unsafe in public spaces? Will things always be this way? However, the collection of essays really shines when Renzetti turns the lens toward her own life, sharing her experiences as a daughter, wife, mother, and journalist in a male-dominated world. Quick-witted and eye-opening, Shrewed exemplifies that famous line: “The personal is political.”
