Era of Ignition by Amber Tamblyn

Era of Ignition by Amber Tamblyn

A passionate and deeply personal exploration of feminism during divisive times from one of the founders of Time's Up: actor, filmmaker, and activist Amber Tamblyn.

A work of personal upheaval and political reckoning.--Rebecca Traister, New York Times bestselling author of Good and Mad

Amber Tamblyn has emerged as an outspoken advocate for women's rights. But she wasn't always so bold and self-possessed. In her late twenties, after a particularly low period fueled by rejection and disillusionment, she grabbed hold of her own destiny and entered into what she calls an Era of Ignition--a time of self-reflection that follows in the wake of personal upheaval and leads us to challenge the status quo. In the process of undergoing this metamorphosis, she realized that our country is going through an Era of Ignition of its own, and she set about agitating for change by initiating a dialogue about gender inequality.

In this deeply personal exploration of modern feminism, she addresses misogyny and discrimination, reproductive rights and sexual assault, white feminism and pay parity--all through the lens of her own experiences as well as those of her Sisters in Solidarity. At once an intimate meditation and a public reckoning, Era of Ignition is a galvanizing feminist manifesto that is required reading for anyone who wants to help change the world for the better.

Amber Tamblyn is an actor, director, and author. For her work in television and movies, she has been nominated for an Emmy, a Golden Globe, and an Independent Spirit Award. She is the author of three collections of poetry, including the critically praised best seller Dark Sparkler. Her debut novel, Any Man, will be published by Harper Perennial in June 2018, and a collection of nonfiction essays by Crown will be published in 2019. She most recently wrote and directed Paint It Black, a feature film based on Janet Fitch's novel and currently available on Netflix, starring Alia Shawkat, Janet McTeer, and Alfred Molina. She is a founder member of Time's Up and reviews women's poetry books for Bust Magazine. She is also a contributing writer for The New York Times. She is a New Yorker.
