Wow! What a life and what a journey! I feel so privileged that Jane Fonda chose to share her journey and empower others to become authentic in their own skin. Thank You, thank you for this page turner of a life well lived. I can’t wait for the sequel!!

This book was inspirational and enthralling. Not your average celebrity biography.

well-written. insightful. inspiring. badass.

After watching "Jane Fonda in Five Acts", I decided to pick up this book and I was not disappointed. I joked to myself that Fonda's massive memoir is a lot to handle for an actress, but she is more than that. Fonda is both actress and humanitarian, mother, daughter and influential figure who took her fame and used it (and continues to use it) for good.

Surprisingly stirring. So powerful to hear about the development of her political analysis, racial awareness and feminist analysis sequentially. She was a part of so many movements and still working to find herself.

Mama Mia this was a thorough memoir, probably the longest one I’ve read yet.

I knew Jane Fonda was a badass but I didn’t realize the full extent of it; what an incredibly accomplished, passionate and impressive woman! She leaves no stone unturned in her activism, acting and eventually, her personal life. 

I appreciated the brutal honesty throughout her story and how she both embodies and embraces transformation. It was beautiful and refreshing to see her journey from a an emotionally neglectful childhood to her infamous “third act.” 

This is an insightful, reflective read about a bold, courageous woman who’s lived a fascinating life. I’m glad she’s gotten to the place where she’s at and that she felt so inclined to share it with us.
