Narrated by Karen Cass

Vindication (2006) tells the inspiring, thrilling, and often tragic tale of the life of Mary Wollstonecraft, known today as the founder of modern feminism. Drawing on significant moments in Wollstonecraft’s life, from her childhood in an abusive household to her experiences co-founding a school and living in Revolutionary France, it paints a picture of a woman who was as complex as she was brilliant. Throughout every stage of her life, Wollstonecraft was truly an original thinker, and her influence on feminist thought continues to ring out today.

The Year of Magical Thinking (2005) is a poignant memoir about loss and grief. It tells the deeply personal story of Joan Didion’s experiences with the life-threatening illnesses of her daughter and the death of her husband. But more than that, it’s also a thought-provoking philosophical exploration of the meaning of mortality, the fragility of life and the mutability of everything that surrounds us.

","aboutTheAuthor":"

Joan Didion was an American writer. Her critically acclaimed works span a wide range of genres and forms: literature, screenplays, memoirs, essays and journalism. They include Slouching Towards Bethlehem, which was one of the seminal works of the New Journalism movement; Play It as It Lays, which Time magazine named one of its “100 Best English-language Novels from 1923 to 2005”; and the screenplay for True Confessions, which she co-wrote with her husband, John Gregory Dunne.
