Publisher's Synopsis

This fully illustrated biography, the only book in which Katharine Hepburn has ever co-operated with an author, tells the story of her childhood and early years. Her memoirs make particular reference to the contribution and influence of her remarkable parents. Her mother, Kit Houghton, was one of America's first feminists, a social crusader who campaigned for women's suffrage and birth control, and was a personal friend of the Pankhursts, Margaret Sanger and Emma Goldman. Her father was Tom Hepburn, who along with friends such as George Bernard Shaw pioneered the treatment of venereal disease and increased public awareness of its prevention.;Christopher Anderson has been Katharine Hepburn's friend and neighbour for 16 years.
