Molly Ivins was a groomed for a gilded life, having been born into a moneyed family prominent in Houston society. But Molly Ivins left the country club behind to become one of the most provocative, courageous, and influential journalists in American history. Presidents and senators called her for advice; her column ran in 400 newspapers; her books were bestsellers. But despite her fame, few people really knew her: what her background was, who influenced her, how her political views developed, or how many painful struggles she fought.
Join us on February 17 for a
discussion of Molly Ivins: A Rebel Life with co-author Bill
Minutaglio, a professor of journalism at the
University of Texas and author of several critically acclaimed books.
This is event is co-sponsored by the Columbia University Club of South Texas, The Texas Observer, ACLU of Texas, and ROADWomen.
