Book Overview

by Ruth Rosen (Author)

In this riveting memoir, a woman grew up in an orphanage reveals the sexual harassment and male discrimination she encountered in her family, from employers and with men. With grit and talent, she still enjoyed a tumultuous love affair, and became a successful career woman. A Fearless Woman, like Vivian Gornick's unforgettable Fierce Attachments, will move readers to examine their own lives.


A Fearless Woman is an enthralling and extraordinary memoir. Raised in an orphanage, this impoverished girl eventually rose to become an executive in the new beauty business. Written in an authentic and accessible voice, her memoir reveals, in great detail, a remarkable, unpredictable, exhilarating and painful life as she encounters repeated encounters with male domination.


Ruth Rosen, a distinguished historian of women's lives, has once again discovered an unknown and indomitable woman. No longer hidden in history, her magnificent memoir reveals an unforgettable person.


- Sandra Gilbert, Distinguished Professor of English, U.C. Davis
