The author as an adult, looking back and reflecting on their disparate ways of understanding life.JackieJackie was a bold, renegade woman of her time — a human potential movement pioneer, teacher, and author who believed in pursuing adventure, free love, and personal expression and didn’t care what anyone thought of her. This was before “feminism” became a household word, and during a time when women were still expected to stay home and take care of the kids.Because of her many accomplishments, many people admired her.
