Jane Fonda: There's a Great Deal to Say guides readers through the two sides of one of Hollywood's most intriguing figures: actor and activist Jane Fonda. Using original archival material from Fonda's own personal papers and from cinema archives, the author tells the riveting tale of how Fonda had come to view acting as a "side gig" that gives her a worldwide platform to convey her personal and political views. Readers will be introduced to the people, role models and events in Fonda's life that led her to believe movies can serve as an influential story-telling tool that can influence public opinion, change minds and trigger social change. The book traces how Fonda has evolved over more than five decades to stay on the path of activism, at times sacrificing her career, her personal safety, and even her relationship with her family.

Maryilyn S. Greenwald is a professor emerita of journalism at Ohio University. She is the author of several biographies, including A Woman of the Times: Journalism, Feminism and the Career of Charlotte Curtis, and a coauthor of Eunice Hunton Carter: A Lifelong Fight for Social Justice.
