ate this up (lol)

did not consider myself a contessa diehard prior to this but i will ride at dawn for her now. i love my parasocial grandmother

really fascinating to hear her reflect back on the beginnings of her relationship and career in the 50s/60s and her reverence for the feminist movement of that time and how she was trying to live out those ideals in her own way in her own life.

liked that it was a full story, told chronologically. listened to the audiobook which she narrated so it really felt like you were just sitting down with her and listening to her life story. she does a good job of pulling back and summarizing the lessons from each anecdote. i also appreciated the acknowledgements she gave throughout the book to friends and acquaintances who inspired a lot of the style we now attribute to her.
