Woman's Odyssey: Journals, 1976-1992 - Hardcover

Politics and passion are spiked with humor and searching in this compelling tale of a modern woman's journey to mid-life. From shooting deer in Texas to shooting pictures in the Himalayas, from boyfriends to babies, from hitchhiking alone in Guatemala to traveling with the Clintons on the pre-election Texas bus tour, Aaker observes and analyses her world with unexpected candor and insight. Although the specific details are only one woman's experiences, the narrative chronicles the win/loss cycles faced by any woman who chooses to have both career and family.

Linda Aaker practiced law in Austin, Texas for eighteen years. She currently lives in Washington, D.C. with her husband, and is a frequent columnist in the Washington Post.
