In Praise of Difficult Women: Life Lessons from 29 Heroines Who Dared to Break the Rules by Karen Karbo

March 12, 2018

I LOVE this book! Karen Karbo is at her feisty best as she relates the “difficult” natures of her subjects. (The author of Eloise? Who knew?)

Seattle area folks: Learn more about this great book at an event at Elliott Bay Book Company on Tuesday, March 13 at 7:00 pm. Seattle novelist Jennie Shortridge in discussion with Karen Karbo (of Portland) will be incredible! As Jennie says on her Facebook page, “Never have we needed ‘difficult’ (meaning not bending to the patriarchy’s will) women’s stories more than now. Come and get your inspiration hit!”

I Agree, Cheryl. Short of a few edits, I finished a review for an upcoming column just last night! I also picked Kay Thompson for one of my spotlights. What a spirited collection.
