Jane Fonda's War by Mary Hershberger
One of the most popular movie actresses of the 1960s and 1970s, Fonda was also among the most committed and visible antiwar activists of the era. Coming on the heels of Jane Fonda's own memoir, this is the first book to document one of the most interesting (and least known) chapters in Fonda's life - her opposition to the Vietnam war, including the first comprehensive account of her controversial trips to Hanoi, as well as her extensive efforts on behalf of American GIs.
"What’s important is that [Fonda’s] immersion in radical politics during the 1970s transcended the role traditionally assigned not just to celebrities but to women in generalJane paved the way for the celebrity feminist activists of today, such as Oprah Winfrey, Eve Ensler, Rosie O’Donnell, and Susan Sarandon." —Gloria Steinem
