Description
Dying of Politeness is a candid and surprising memoir from two-time Academy Award winner Geena Davis. From her epically polite childhood to her iconic roles in Hollywood, Davis shares a journey of fits and starts, with a pothole or two along the way.
With a career spanning from an amnesiac assassin to a housewife turned road warrior, Davis regales us with tales of her time in the spotlight. She is frank about her eccentric childhood, her many relationships, and her tireless advocacy for women and girls. This memoir is a touching account of one woman's journey to fight for herself, and ultimately, for women all around the globe.
