In this definitive, deeply personal, and often provocative memoir, designer and female icon Donna Karan shares her life story, including intimate and candid stories of her difficult and isolated childhood (the daughter of a tailor and a showroom model-turned-Seventh Avenue saleswoman); her nearly five decades in an ever-evolving fashion industry; her two marriages; motherhood; and her spiritual journey over the last 20 years. Donna Karan has never lost sight of her life goal: to empower women.
