Babe and the Big Boys a juicy memoir

Cathy Pearsall-Stipek will host a book signing for her memoir "Babe and the Big Boys" on June 25 from 4-8 p. m. The memoir details her nearly 50 years in public service, focusing on her experiences as a woman in a male-dominated political environment. Pearsall-Stipek's book has garnered five-star reviews, with readers praising her candid storytelling and inspiring journey. The memoir originated from her determination to secure a better education for her son Joe, who was diagnosed with hearing loss.

She actively opposed the school district's decision to place him in a specialized school, advocating instead for his inclusion in a mainstream classroom. This advocacy sparked her political career, leading her to serve in the Washington State House of Representatives starting in 1977. Pearsall-Stipek's story resonates with themes of resilience and empowerment, as she challenges societal norms and fights for the rights of others. Her granddaughter emphasizes the memoir's inspiring message of persistence and courage in the face of adversity.
