Feisty

A Memoir in Little Pieces

By: Jean Peelen

Narrated by: Jean Peelen

Feisty is the story of a woman with attitude—told in short reflections that capture a life of awakening activism. From her exploits as a five-year-old New Jersey cowboy to hosting Gloria Steinem in Alabama and an awkward drink with a young Clarence Thomas, Jean Peelen shares her civil rights journey and the most vulnerable moments in her life.

This book is funny, sad, deep, and wide. Feisty shines a light on what is possible when a woman rejects the roles she is expected to fulfill and finds her own path.

Thoughtful & Funny

Loved the book. Having it read by the author made it even better! I would read more of her work.

Unique, relatable, entertaining memoir

A fascinating memoir by Jean Peelen. Her stories (chapters) are unique, interesting, and entertaining. It is relatable to every woman of our generation or our mother's (I'm 60). Often her chapters left me hanging without a tidy conclusion. After I got used to that I enjoyed wondering what happened, or was grateful that the details are often better left unsaid. An enjoyable read.

PRICELESS lived experience is narrated throughout this memoir!

Entertaining and cautionary tales are weaved throughout this fantastic woman’s life stories. I highly recommend this book.

Perfectly spoken

You are my new bestfriend. Your stories make me want to pick up the phone so you can tell me more. I truly enjoyed your book. Thanks for posting on TikTok. I just adore you. Your dedication to women's rights are incredible. Thank you!

A must read!

I love her style of writing. The short chapters are like little tiles of her life that make up a beautiful picture at the end. You hear the emotion in her voice as she reads! What a remarkable life she has led! I’m sharing it with all the women in my life!
