Sinopsis
We speak with writer Carla Kaplan about her new book "Troublemaker: The Fierce, Unruly Life of Jessica Mitford." Mitford (1917-1996) grew up in the British aristocracy but was driven to literally run away from home in order to escape a life that she found to be stiflingly unbearable. She eventually found her way to the United States where she became a well-known writer and social commentator. She was, among other things, a proud Communist as well as a tireless social activist. The book is not only about Jessica Mitford- It also touches on the complicated legacy of the entire Mitford family, including Jessica's colorful and often controversial sisters.
