A sweet RABCK from Unbalanced :)

I don't know much about Katherine Hepburn but I'm looking forward to learning. These little books are so cute that they just beg to be read!

Before reading this little book all I knew of Katharine Hepburn was contained in a picture I once saw of her as an older woman holding an emaciated African child...that picture stuck in my mind somehow and so I thought of her as a humanitarian. After reading her account of her childhood I became fascinated by her frank, matter of fact style and was drawn to doing a bit of research on her life. I discovered that the picture I had in my head was probably Audrey Hepburn and not Katharine Hepburn for one! I also discovered that she was bold, brainy, beautiful, and an independent individual and empowered woman at a time when neither of those things was particularly in fashion. The more I read about her the more I admired her strength but at the same time lamented her selfishness - such talent and determination could have been used to help so many... Despite having never seen one of her films she has become one of my favourite actresses! Thank you Unbalanced for introducing me to such a powerful woman!

Reserved for the 2006 Australian Bookcrossing Convention.

Picked up at the Adelaide Bookcrossing Convention.

Read on the plane on the flight home after the Convention. A very quick read. I didn't realise that Miss Hepburn had had such a privileged upbringing.
