"Peter Bagge returns with a biography of another fascinating twentieth-century trailblazer-the writer, feminist, war correspondent, and libertarian Rose Wilder Lane. Following the popularity and critical acclaim of Woman Rebel: The Margaret Sanger Story and Fire!! The Zora Neale Hurston Story, Credo: The Rose Wilder Lane Story is a fast-paced, charming, informative look at the brilliant Lane. Among other achievements, she was a founder of the American libertarian movement and a champion of her mother, Laura Ingalls Wilder, in bringing the classic Little House on the Prairie series to the American public. Much like Sanger and Hurston, Lane was an advocate for women's rights who led by example, challenging norms in her personal and professional life. Anti-government and anti-marriage, Lane didn't think that gender should hold anyone back from experiencing all the world had to offer. Though less well-known today, in her lifetime she was one of the highest-paid female writers in America and a political and literary luminary, friends with Herbert Hoover, Dorothy Thompson, Sinclair Lewis, and Ayn Rand, to name a few. Bagge's portrait of Lane is heartfelt and affectionate, probing into the personal roots of her rugged individualism. Credo is a deeply researched dive into a historical figure whose contributions to American society are all around us, from the books we read to the politics we debate."--… (más)
Peter Bagge regresa con una biografía de otra fascinante pionera del siglo XX: la escritora, feminista, corresponsal de guerra y libertaria Rose Wilder Lane. Siguiendo la estela de La mujer rebelde y Fire!!, Credo es un acercamiento vertiginoso y fascinante a la brillante Lane, fundadora del movimiento libertario estadounidense, una de las escritoras mejor pagadas de su tiempo, y con toda probabilidad coautora junto a su madre, Laura Ingalls Wilder, del clásico La casa de la pradera. Al igual que Sanger y Hurston, Lane fue una defensora de los derechos de las mujeres que predicaba con el ejemplo, desafiando todas las normas en su vida personal y profesional, convirtiéndose en una celebridad política y literaria. Credo es una inmersión profundamente documentada en una figura histórica cuyas contribuciones a la sociedad actual saltan a la vista, desde los libros que leemos hasta la política que debatimos.
