In this powerful anthology, readers will delve into the lives of some of the most influential figures in entertainment, literature, activism, and beyond.

Through their stories, readers will discover the highs and lows of Marlene Dietrich's glamorous yet challenging life as a film star, Rachel Maddow's rise as a political commentator on MSNBC, and Laverne Cox's groundbreaking role as the first transgender person nominated for a Primetime Emmy. Explore the emotional journeys of Sarah Paulson, Kristen Stewart, and Tessa Thompson, as they not only embrace their sexual identities but challenge Hollywood's traditional norms.

In addition, the book highlights the lives of Wanda Sykes, Jodie Foster, and Cloris Leachman, who each faced societal expectations while maintaining their distinctive voices, and Portia de Rossi's journey from silent struggles to becoming an advocate for LGBTQ+ rights alongside her marriage to Ellen DeGeneres.

Through candid interviews, personal anecdotes, and reflections on their careers, Women Redesigning Love and Identity I paints an intimate portrait of resilience, love, and activism. These women, each in her own way, have defied the odds, changed the world, and paved the way for future generations to live more freely and authentically.
