As Alone As I Want to Be A Memoir

"'Life, ' George Bernard Shaw wrote, 'is not about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.' That experience-creating myself while living an adventurous life on a learning curve-is at the core of AS ALONE AS I WANT TO BE. The memoir is a feminist journey through a life lived deliberately-many lives, actually-as seen via an occasionally sardonic point of view, an eye for irony and humor and a consistent sense of awe. It will encourage readers to go for their dreams at any age but women over 50 might find much with which to identify. Achieving mastery in several fields is still unusual for a woman in contemporary society, much less one from an earlier generation."
