Anne's first two novels, Ruthie Has a New Love and Girl Blog From Tucson are about her present life in Tucson, her past life as a native New Yorker.

This is a short history of the first year of the women's liberation movement. Because Anne was there when it started, she was able to recount the first meetings, during 1967 and 1968. The book is very personal and very revealing about Anne.

"So I did it to please them, but it turned out I had a ball writing it. And I found it very interesting.
"It's a lot of fun, and some of it is...
