Publisher's Summary

My Life So Far is a powerful account of an extraordinary woman. Oscar winner, controversial political activist, groundbreaking fitness guru, wife, mother, lover, philanthropist; just some of the roles Jane Fonda is known for. In this candid book, written by Fonda herself, there are messages for women of all ages as she holds a mirror up to her own life but lets us see ours reflected there.

Now in her 60s, Jane Fonda looks back over a life in which she won Oscars for her roles in Klute and Coming Home and produced blockbuster hits Nine to Five and On Golden Pond. And with unflinching honesty she addresses the tragedy of her mother's suicide; her turbulent relationship with her father, Henry Fonda, her lovers and husbands, her passions and political views.

A Life of Learning

I'd recommend this book to women in life transition, particularly those of us who, like me, have come through a storm & taken the time (4yr in my case) to heel, nurture & ground herself. I bought Jane's 'My Life So Far' & 'Prime Time' after viewing her impressive TEDX talk about 'The Third Act'. If, like me, you enjoy biographies &, in the case of this book, value the life perspective of an older, wise (yet vulnerable & uncertain in herself) & ever attentive woman, then I suggest that you will enjoy & reflect meaningfully with this book.

It's a must

loved it. I have always been a huge Jane Fonda fan and this book has opened my eyes to her world and to how I view my own 3 Acts.. I will be taking a lot away from this book.

Great story.

Authentic storytelling of a complicated and multifaceted human. It was great to get past the personas and to discover the real person. A person just like the listener.

I learned so much! History, society, culture, psychology, Jane Fonda is incredible.

I liked the performance, the sequencing, development, historical and political references, medical and psychological research, lessons.

Extraordinary.

This book was one of the most deeply engaging, immensely touching & beautifully written memoirs that I have ever had the great privilege of reading about a huge life of incredible impact that has found me in both tears of enormous laughter alongside an entirely different kind of tears that will long stay with me. Brilliant.
