Summary

1. Why she left her body as a child and how she finally reintegrated 50 years later. 2. How, even as a public warrior for the highest ideals of democracy, she’s never had a democratic marriage – and when she knew she had to leave each one. 3. Her deepest fear, why she became happiest at 62, and a peek behind the scenes of her 85th birthday party. 4. How, despite coordinated FBI and White House campaigns to vilify her, she’s kept showing up. 5. Ways to get involved in her fight to defend the environment – and an invitation to march with her.
