We'll discuss Fierce Ambition: The Life and Legend of War Correspondent Maggie Higgins by Jennet Conant. Books are available at the Adult & Teen Services Desk one month before each discussion.
Marguerite Higgins was both the scourge and envy of the journalistic world. A longtime reporter for the New York Herald Tribune, she first catapulted to fame with her dramatic account of the liberation of Dachau at the end of World War II. Brash, beautiful, ruthlessly competitive, and sexually adventurous, she forced her way to the front despite being told the combat zone was no place for a woman.
Coffee and donuts will be served.
