Self Published Author Shares Her Life as a Political Activist in Xlibris Title

Bloomington, IN, August 13, 2009 --(PR.com)-- The world of political activism transcends the limits of having street protests, handing out leaflets and being vocal against injustice and other forms of oppression. Political activism, in essence, is a continuous struggle to achieve political freedom, social change, economic sustainability and environmental protection.

There is but an ongoing war against discrimination, terrorism, corporate power, patriarchy and US imperialism. For political activist Mary L. Wentworth, political change should start from within. One must acknowledge his/her own consciousness in order to truly see out there and find the solution to many of the world’s problems.

This inspired Wentworth to publish a book entitled Discovering America: A Political Journey. This self-published book is a gripping, blow-by-blow memoir about the author’s emotionally abusive experiences as a political activist – from leading political campaigns to being imprisoned in New Hampshire.

Discovering America narrates political milestones with keen and thorough analysis. It also features an innovative section wherein Mary studies her own experiences from the current political spectrum.

Discovering America: A Political Journey is a must-read not just for today’s political activists but also for those who truly care. This Xlibris book aims to give a deeper understanding of prevailing issues at hand so that these can be better addressed.
