JOY BEHAR: I think it’s a very good idea even to review the decade and say, well, this is where I used to be. I mean you know, that famous line, title from a book, I remember, THE GIRL I LEFT BEHIND, is so true. It’s like you look back and you say, who was that girl? JANE FONDA: Usually the girl was pretty good. The problem for us women starts at about puberty. And the trick to aging, the way I think people can age, as a woman, you circle back to the girl. And you know that girl for the first time. EXCERPT from Joy Behar Interview with Jane Fonda on her new book “Prime Time” http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/1108/10/joy.01.html Aired August10, 2011 “The Joy Behar Show” The book’s narrative style—blunt, unflinching, honest—serves the story well…educational and entertaining, with a wry, ironic wit evident throughout.” --Kirkus Review, Nies has written a fascinating account of her personal experience interwoven with her observations of a pivotal decade of political and social history. --Ellen Steinbaum, Boston Globe Nies moves nimbly between descriptions of her unique personal situation and recollections of the more general climate for women...A potent reminder of how much things have changed -- and stayed the same. --The Columbus (Ohio) Dispatch At the height of the Vietnam War protests, Judith Nies held “the most interesting job in Washington” as the chief staffer to a core group of anti-war congressmen. A graduate of John Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) with an impressive international resume, Nies had everything she needed to succeed in Washington except for one obvious characteristic: she was the wrong gender. |
