Elsie Gilmore

Elsie Gilmore, author of the bestselling book "How to Find Joy in a Capitalist Hellscape," holds a master's degree in environmental law and policy from Vermont Law School. Known for her environmental activism, Elsie has participated in civil disobedience and was arrested at the White House in 2011 as part of the Tar Sands Action. A dedicated activist for women's reproductive rights, institutional racism, and workers' rights, she also has a penchant for talking to and hugging strangers.

Elsie began her writing journey when the internet was new and young and hasn’t stopped since. Her work includes various personal and professional blogs, a column for the Rutland Herald, hosting and participation in several radio shows, and her current weekly Substack publication, Sunday Mornings in Bed. Described humorously as "that lady who will not stop talking," Elsie's voice is both persistent and passionate.

With a career spanning twenty years as a web developer and founder of Women With Moxie, a women's networking company, Elsie has worn many hats. From Vermont farm girl to multi-business owner and now a published author, she continues to pursue the awesome sauce in life.

Stay tuned for her upcoming non-fiction books, memoirs, inspirational accessory products, and maybe even a surprise fiction book.
