Don’t miss this incredible interview on Women Road Warriors with Jean Peelen, who has had six careers. Jean has moved mountains as a mother, civil rights attorney, former chief of staff for U.S. Broadcasting, been shortlisted as a finalist for the show Survivor, politician, and author. She teaches women it is never too late and they can do anything. She is still crushing it at 82 as an author. She inspires women of all ages with her group Old Women Who Write. Her new autobiography Feisty: A Memoir in Little Pieces will make you laugh, cry, and get inspired to be nothing short of Feisty and determined to be anything you want to be. Feisty is the story of a woman with attitude—told in short reflections that capture a life of awakening activism. From Jean’s adventures as a five-year-old New Jersey cowboy to hosting Gloria Steinem in Alabama, to an awkward drink with a young Clarence Thomas, Jean Peelen shares her civil rights journey and the most vulnerable moments in her life.
