Whether you love Jane Fonda or abhor her, \u003ci\u003eJane Fonda\u003c\/i\u003e is a detailed and generous exploration not only of the contradictory world Fonda grew up in but of the many people who shaped her.” —Jeannette Walls, author of \u003ci\u003eThe Glass Castle\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePatricia Bosworth has gone beyond the image of an American superwoman to reveal a Jane Fonda more powerful and vulnerable than ever expected. Fonda emerged from a heartbreaking Hollywood family drama to become a ’60s onscreen ingénue and then an Oscar-winning actress. At the top of her game she risked all, rising up against the Vietnam War and shocking the world with a trip to Hanoi. While becoming one of Hollywood’s most committed feminists, she financed her husband Tom Hayden’s political career in the ’80s with exercise videos that began a fitness craze and brought in millions of dollars. Just as interesting is Fonda’s next turn, as a Stepford Wife of the Gulfstream set, marrying Ted Turner and seemingly walking away from her ideals and her career. Fonda’s multilevel story is a blend of the deep insecurity, magnetism, bravery, and determination that has fueled her inspiring and occasionally infuriating public life. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“The definitive portrait of a woman conflicted, torn between ferocious ambition, family, and feminist causes.” —Gail Sheehy, author of \u003ci\u003ePassages\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“The Private Life does Jane Fonda the service of making us remember why she was relevant in the first place: the movies. Bosworth’s thorough account of this wild, uniquely twentieth-century Hollywood life makes Jane Fonda the actress even more intriguing.” —\u003ci\u003eSan Francisco Chronicle\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Houghton Mifflin Harcourt","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47815764508912,"sku":"9780547577654","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780547577654_p0.jpg?v=1763716540","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780547577654","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
