Hilary Giovale is a passionate advocate for women’s rights, empowerment, and equality. Through her work as a writer, speaker, and social advocate, she has spent years championing the causes that matter to women, particularly focusing on gender equity in family dynamics, relationships, and society at large. One of her significant contributions to these efforts is her book Becoming a Good Relative, which delves into how relationships shape personal identity, responsibilities, and the very fabric of social justice.

Hilary carries herself with a deep care and humility in this work. For those of you who have read my book and are seeking more in your personal or leadership exploration, Hilary's voice will likely be one you will go back to again and again. Her story is rich, intimate and relatable.

Becoming a Good Relative is more than just a book; it’s a call to action for women to examine their roles in society and make bold moves toward more equitable relationships. With her writing and advocacy, Giovale continues to make strides toward a world where women have the autonomy, resources, and support to thrive. Her efforts show that achieving gender equality is not just about altering societal structures—it’s about empowering every woman to change the story for herself.

“Becoming a Good Relative is a prayer and manual for societal change, urging us to reexamine our relationships with history, culture, and each other. Hilary’s exploration serves as a blueprint for engaging in the world with reverence, love, and a deep sense of responsibility towards fostering equitable relationships across difference.”
