Tuesday, November 11, 2003
According to Naomi Wolf, Joanna Lipper’s book Growing Up Fast “reads like a nineteenth-century novel about young women burdened by fates they did not choose.” On the show with Ms. Lipper are Amy and Shayla, two teenage mothers from Pittsfield, Massachusetts.
Events: Joanna Lipper’s film from her book, Growing up Fast will be screened tomorrow at 7:30 at the Makor/Steinhardt Building – 35 West 67th Street – and it will be followed by a panel discussion with some of the mothers profiled in the book.
