Brooke Baldwin is a veteran journalist who you've seen on CNN over the last decade covering some of the world's biggest breaking stories. After more than 20 years in the male-dominated industry of TV news, often reporting on the world’s most powerful men, veteran journalist Brooke Baldwin spent two days back-to-back covering the 2017 presidential inauguration and the historic Women’s March in D.C. The experience changed her perspective and led to the question: what happens when women huddle?

Baldwin wanted to learn from women who were forming change movements, or who were
supporting each other in the workplace whether it be the courthouse, a Hollywood writer’s room, or on the sports field. But most of all, she wanted to learn what happens when women harness each others’ power by gathering together—either in person or virtually—to huddle.

Baldwin’s new book HUDDLE: How Women Unlock Their Collective Power, is a blend of journalism andpersonal narrative examining how women have come together in a wide variety of times and places, to provide each other with support, empowerment, inspiration, and the strength to solve problems or enact meaningful change. Baldwin crisscrossed the country to research and write this book, revealing how huddling helps women achieve success in the workplace, effect grassroots change, build confidence during girlhood, maintain better physical and mental health, survive racial and gender-based oppression, and weather the COVID-19 pandemic. By speaking with historians and researchers, Baldwin also learned the ways that huddling has often been key to women’s survival over generations.
