ABOUT THE AUTHORS
Lori Goldman was born and raised in Ecorse, Michigan and moved to Oakland County three decades ago. Ms. Goldman is the mother and stepmother to six children and mother to one black Labrador-mix rescue named Paul. Ms. Goldman was never a regular voter when she started Fems for Dems ten years ago. She now sits on the organization's board as well as that of Fems for Democracy and is a member of the Birmingham-Bloomfield Democrats, and Michigan NOW. Ms. Goldman spends her days doing real estate but spends her time otherwise on Fems for Dems' mission of furthering progressive causes and turning Michigan blue (again). This is her first (but not her last) book.
