A well-read woman : the life, loves, and legacy of Ruth Rappaport / Kate Stewart.

Stewart, Kate, 1978- (author.).

Summary:

Books were the one constant in a life full of trauma and turmoil, and she always turned to them for reassurance, renewal, and solace when she had no one and nothing else...Above all, this book is a tribute to a teenage girl who understood the power of forbidden books: that by reading them she would find a way to liberate herself. She devoted the rest of her long life to liberating them for the readers of the world. That includes you.
