Marilyn Fitterman is a feminist activist, mother of five, and grandmother of nine. She served from 1988 to 1992 as President of National Organization for Women – New York State. She was also National NOW Northeast Regional Director, President of National NOW Presidents’ Caucus, and a co-founder of Long Island, NY NOW-PAC (Political Action Committee). Fitterman also served as Long Island East End NOW President, and in later years chaired the East Hampton Town Anti-Bias Task Force. She is an experienced lobbyist and has often spoken around the country on First Amendment free speech, church/state separation, abortion and reproductive rights. “Marilyn Fitterman led the women’s movement in New York during a tumultuous, yet thrilling era for women’s rights. Never one to mince words or sugarcoat the truth, her memoir is a gripping, funny, and reflective look at life as a leading Second Wave feminist. This book is instructive for social justice activists and all women today.” Sonia Ossorio – President NOW-NYS & President NOW- NYC “Here’s a personal behind-the-scenes rags-to-politics story of a courageous, effective, feminist activist. Fitterman spent decades on the front lines for abortion rights, birth control, and women’s autonomy. I’m excited about this book; it is a MUST READ.” Bill Baird – of US Supreme Court’s 1972 Baird v. Eisenstadt decision making birth control legal for singles in the US. “In 1989 Fitterman hired me as lobbyist. Throughout her NOW-NYS presidency she was a true visionary and brilliant strategist whom I remember whispering at a statewide meeting, “My God, they’re going after birth control.” She saw, before most, the oncoming onslaught against women’s reproductive freedom. She stands throughout time as a beacon and tireless fighter for girls’ and women’s personal dignity.” Lois Shapiro Canter, J. D. – President, Saratoga Foundation for Women WorldWide Inc. & President, Saratoga Unites, Inc. “I always knew I had a voice but never realized how strong it could be until I met Marilyn Fitterman. I thank her for all she gave me… the courage to speak truth to power.” Marcia Pappas – Past President NOW-NYS & Past NOW-Northeast Regional Director

Fragments

Poems, Intimate Notes, Letters

By: Marilyn Monroe

Fragments is an event—an unforgettable book that will redefine one of the greatest icons of the twentieth century and that, nearly fifty years after her death, will definitively reveal Marilyn Monroe's humanity. Marilyn's image is so universal that we can't help but believe we know all there is to know of her. Every word and gesture made headlines and garnered controversy. Her serious gifts as an actor were sometimes eclipsed by her notoriety—and by the way the camera fell helplessly in love with her. Beyond the headlines—and the too-familiar stories of heartbreak and desolation—was a woman far more curious, searching, witty, and hopeful than the one the world got to know. Now, for the first time, readers can meet the private Marilyn and understand her in a way we never have before. Fragments is an unprecedented collection of written artifacts—notes to herself, letters, even poems—in Marilyn's own handwriting, never before published, along with rarely seen intimate photos. Jotted in notebooks, typed on paper, or written on hotel letterhead, these texts reveal a woman who loved deeply and strove to perfect her craft. They show a Marilyn Monroe unsparing in her analysis of her own life, but also playful, funny, and impossibly charming. The easy grace and deceptive lightness that made her performances indelible emerge on the page, as does the simmering tragedy that made her last appearances so affecting.

Fragments

Poems, Intimate Notes, Letters

By: Marilyn Monroe

Marilyn Monroe's image is so universal that we can't help but believe that we know all there is to know of her. Every word and gesture made headlines and garnered controversy. Her serious gifts as an actor were sometimes eclipsed by her notoriety -- and the way the camera fell helplessly in love with her. But what of the other Marilyn? Beyond the headlines -- and the too-familiar stories of heartbreak and desolation -- was a woman far more curious, searching and hopeful than the one the world got to know. Even as Hollywood studios tried to mold and suppress her, Marilyn never lost her insight, her passion, and her humour. To confront the mounting difficulties of her life, she wrote. Now, for the first time, we can meet this private Marilyn and get to know her in a way we never have before. Fragments is an unprecedented collection of written artifacts -- notes to herself, letters, even poems -- in Marilyn's own handwriting, never before published, along with rarely seen intimate photos. These bits of text--jotted in notebooks, typed on paper or written on hotel letterhead -- reveal a woman who loved deeply and strove to perfect her craft. They show a Marilyn Monroe unsparing in her analysis of her own life, but also playful, funny and impossibly charming. The easy grace and deceptive lightness that made her performances so memorable emerge on the page, as does the simmering tragedy that made her last appearances so heartbreaking. Fragments is an event -- an unforgettable book that will redefine one of the greatest stars of the twentieth century and which, nearly fifty years after her death, will definitively reveal Marilyn Monroe's humanity.

Confession inachevée

By: Marilyn Monroe

Hollywood, c'est un endroit où l'on vous offre mille dollars d'un baiser et cinquante cents de votre âme. Je le sais, j'ai assez souvent refusé la première proposition et tenu bon pour les cinquante cents. " Marilyn Monroe, 1954 C'est en 1954 que l'agent de Marilyn, Charles Feldman, contacte Ben Hecht pour lui demander d'aider l'actrice à écrire ses mémoires. À 28 ans, elle a déjà tourné une vingtaine de films, dont ses premiers succès – Niagara et Les hommes préfèrent les blondes – et elle est lasse des inventions et potins des feuilles à scandales. Elle lui dicte les mots qu'il couche sur papier. Pour des raisons personnelles, elle ne poursuit pas ces séances de travail, mais confie le texte inachevé au photographe Milton Greene, son ami de toujours. Publiés aux États-Unis et en France en 1974, ces textes de jeunesse, intimes et bouleversants, politiques et féministes, sont une révélation. Qui était Marilyn Monroe ? Qui se cache derrière la pétillante blonde qui va mettre fin à ses jours à 36 ans, en pleine gloire ? Lire cette Confession inachevée, c'est se rapprocher d'elle, entendre sa voix bien reconnaissable dévoiler les deux faces de sa personnalité, les étapes de sa brève existence. D'abord Norma Jean, l'enfant dont la mère est internée, ballottée entre différentes familles d'accueil. La jeune fille crie son manque d'amour et son besoin constant d'attirer l'attention. Puis Marilyn, le sex-symbol qui côtoie et déteste Hollywood, avec ses ratés, ses dragueurs et ses escrocs, qui se heurte à la jalousie des femmes, mais reste lucide sur la tragédie de son milieu d'adoption.

The Long Hard Road Out of Hell

By: Marilyn Manson,Neil Strauss

From the world's most controversial rock star comes his shocking, confessional and revealing life story. In The Long Hard Road Out of Hell, Marilyn Manson candidly and vividly recounts his metamorphosis from a frightened Christian schoolboy into the most feared and revered celebrity in America. A cross-dressing grandfather, a sexually abusive neighbor, a brainwashing faith healer and a schoolteacher searching for satanic messages in rock songs are only a few of the characters who populate his bizarre childhood. From backstage to jail cells, from recording studios to emergency rooms, from the pit of despair to the top of the charts, The Long Hard Road Out of Hell chronicles Manson's rise to fame at the price of his humanity and his descent through the circles of Dante's Inferno: Lust, Violence and Treachery. His story is illustrated with dozens of previously unpublished photographs, and it features a behind-the-scenes account of his headline-grabbing Dead to the World Tour -- vilified, banned and protested by politicans, preachers and parents alike. In his 29 years, Manson has experienced more than most people have -- or would want to -- in a lifetime.
