Ulster County Womens Network had a Zoom meeting with author Holly George-Warren talking with members about her most recent book. Janis: Her Life and Music is a comprehensive look at Janis Joplin’s life and her legacy in music. It highlights the place of women in culture and in the music industry. Holly, a teacher at SUNY-New Paltz and a highly respected biographer of iconic music change makers, answered questions on her inspiration to write this book at this time after others have been written, and she offered tips on memoir writing. UCWN will begin a member book “club” with Holly’s book on Janis as our first book to discuss. It can be purchased (and signed) at Golden Notebook, Rough Draft, Oblong Books, Barnes and Noble and other local bookstores. We all thank Holly for the intimate glimpse into both Janis’s life, her writing and research approach and her sensitive understanding of Janis’s pioneering spirit to contribute her powerful music to usher in a new era that shaped a generation.
