Summary

As the recent U.S. presidential campaign revealed, the Vietnam war remains a political lightning rod. In the 1980s, even as a Gallup poll listed Fonda as one of the most admired women in the country, the conservatives dubbed her "Hanoi Jane" a traitourous figure to be reviled for her highly publicised trip to North Vietnam in 1972.

Jane Fonda's War: A Political Biography of an Antiwar Icon by Mary Hershberger

One of the most popular movie actresses of the 1960s and 1970s, Fonda was also among the most committed and visible antiwar activists of the era. Coming on the heels of Jane Fonda's own memoir, this is the first book to document one of the most interesting (and least known) chapters in Fonda's life - her opposition to the Vietnam war, including the first comprehensive account of her controversial trips to Hanoi, as well as her extensive efforts on behalf of American GIs.

Jane Fonda's War Reviews

"Whats important is that [Fondas] immersion in radical politics during the 1970s transcended the role traditionally assigned not just to celebrities but to women in general. Jane paved the way for the celebrity feminist activists of today, such as Oprah Winfrey, Eve Ensler, Rosie ODonnell, and Susan Sarandon." —Gloria Steinem
