Overview In the book, Feldt encourages women to step into positions of power and leadership. Instead of placing blame, according to the publisher, the author provides inspiration, hope, and courage—as well as concrete power tools, namely, the nine ways, as the book's subtitle eludes—to aid women in securing equality and justice for themselves. The author spoke about her theory of "no excuses" on PBS in an October 2010 interview, telling host Bonnie Erbe, "In so many ways, this is women's moment.
