Throughout all 16 books she's written and discernable in all her life's work thus far, Frances Moore Lappe lives conscientiously and politely nudges the rest of us in the best possible direction as well. In her most recent book, Getting a Grip; Clarity, Courage and Creativity in a World Gone Mad, she asserts that our negative influences are reversible and the common barriers to progress are breakable. But with empowerment comes responsibility, words must become actions. Kathy Golden talks with activist and author, Frances Moore Lappe. |
