About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

On the run for an act of violence against the American government, 25-year-old Jenny Shimada agrees to care for three younger fugitives whom a shadowy figure from her former radical life has spirited out of California. One of them, the kidnapped granddaughter of a wealthy newspaper magnate in San Francisco, has become a national celebrity for embracing her captors’ ideology and joining their revolutionary cell.

American Woman explores the psychology of the young radicals, the intensity of their isolated existence, and the paranoia and fear that soon begin to undermine their ideals.
