    No Stone Unturned: The Life and Times of Maggie Kuhn

    February 4, 2021
    Loved this book! After Maggie Kuhn was ordered to retire, she realized this was not only her issue (she wanted to keep working), but also for many others. She was given a sewing machine (that she never used) and told that they meant to be kind. Her brother wanted her to take care of him. Instead, she got help for her brother and help for many others when she started the Gray Panthers...an organization that fights ageism (one "ism" we will all get if we live long enough).

    Born in 1905, she was ahead of her time in many ways, as this excerpt shows:
    "I had always found attracting men easy, almost effortless. I enjoyed male companionship immensely and felt free to enjoy sex. But I had an independent streak.

    Maggie Kuhn

    American activist (1905–1995)

    Margaret Eliza "Maggie" Kuhn (August 3, 1905 – April 22, 1995)[1] was an American activist known for founding the Gray Panthers movement, after she was forced to retire from her job at the then-mandatory retirement age of 65. The Gray Panthers became known for advocating nursing homereform and fighting ageism, claiming that "old people and women constitute America's biggest untapped and undervalued human energy source." She dedicated her life to fighting for human rights, social and economic justice, global peace, integration, and an understanding of mental health issues. For decades, she combined her activism with caring for her disabled mother and a brother who suffered from mental illness.[2][3] Embracing her age and activism, she referred to herself as a "wrinkled radical."[4] bygd the mid-1970s, Kuhn had achieved national celebrity ställning eller tillstånd, speaking at over 200 engagements a year and appe
