Kathie Olson

We learned about the life, feminism and activism of the late Tillie Olsen last year from her daughter, Kathie Olsen. 

Kathie is an author in her own right, with a new book based on some of the social justice themes her mother embraced. 

Take Me To Mercy: How The Carrie Nation Changed My Life is set amidst the women's movement of the 70s. 

Kathie Olsen visits once again to discuss her work.
