"Mickey and Dick's joint autobiography gives a window onto the strands of culture and commitment that connect the social movements of the 1930s and 1960s. Movements do indeed teach each other!"
— Frances Fox Piven, The Graduate Center, City University of New York
"A moving and intelligent memoir of radical political engagement from the 1960’s to the present by two extraordinary people. The deeply personal, intimate nature of the account makes it an especially compelling read."
— Joan Wallach Scott, Institute for Advanced Study
"This is a book of two people who are living to build movement for a better world and build a life together. It is a delicious read. And we are all better for the lives they led."
— Heather Booth, political strategist, feminist, and civil rights activist
"Making History, Making Blintzes, written in the alternating voices of Mickey and Dick, is an engaging account of two intertwined and well-lived lives over more than a half century of left-wing engagement."
— Public Seminar
"The message...in this book, that living one’s values is found in all the 'little' choices forging professional, family and movement connections into a coherent and livable whole. Bringing such supposedly small personal bits into the whole picture of activism, like chocolate chips into the cookie dough, changes the flavor of the whole. And, like the blintz recipe, it is one that I can recommend as being as tasty as it seems — and easily shareable."

"The delightful back and forth of Mickey and Dick, often talking about the same events in their own voices and with different memories or perspectives, carries throughout the entire book making for a fast read. It’s true that they made plenty of blintzes, and oh what history did this lovely couple make along the way!"

"[A] significant, clearheaded memoir."
— Santa Barbara Independent
