Folio Book Discussion: Fierce Ambition – The Life and Legend of War Correspondent Maggie Higgins by Jennet Conant

Friday, March 29 from 6:30pm – 8:30pm

Co-presented with Journalism & Women Symposium (JAWS)

The discussion will be facilitated by former senior international affairs writer for the Los Angeles Times and returning guest Carol J. Williams.

Marguerite Higgins was both the scourge and envy of the journalistic world. A longtime reporter for the New York Herald Tribune, she first catapulted to fame with her dramatic account of the liberation of Dachau at the end of World War II. Brash, beautiful, ruthlessly competitive, and sexually adventurous, she forced her way to the front despite being told the combat zone was no place for a woman.
