內容簡介

Bosworth goes behind the image of an American superwoman,revealing Fonda—more powerful and vulnerable than everexpected—Whose struggles for high achievement, love, and successfulmotherhood mirror the conflicts of a generation of women.As actress, activist, businesswoman, wife, and mother, Jane Fondahas pushed herself to the limit, attempting to please all, excel inevery arena, be everything.We’ve read her version of hercontroversial life, yet nothing can prepare us for this genuinelyrevelatory account of Jane’s engrossing, sometimes shockingjourney.Supplemented by the psychiatric records of her suicidal, bipolarmother, Fonda’s FBI file, and interviews with her intimates, thisperceptive portrait strips away hype and the subject’s ownmythmaking. Patricia Bosworth shows us what a toll Jane’s quest toexcel (and please her demanding father, Henry) exacted and shedslight on truths she’s glossed over: her rejection of her motherbefore her suicide; the death threats and self-doubts of herantiwar crusade; her second husband Tom Hayden’s habit of puttingher down while spending her fortune; the emotional downfall thatled her to stop actingAnd marry Ted Turner.Lee Strasberg once said that Jane had “panic in her eyes,” and itis this wounded but so familiar woman—human yet still heroic, theembodiment--of a generation’s conflicts and triumphs--whom Bosworthcaptures so utterly and definitively.
