The Story of Jessica Mitford

January 25 @ 10:00 am - 11:00 am

Join us on January 25, 2026, as Carla Kaplan discusses Troublemaker, her new book which tells the wild and unlikely story of Jessica Mitford, a British aristocrat-turned-American Communist, famous for exposés like The American Way of Death.

Jessica Mitford, always known as Decca, dedicated her life to social justice and proved herself an immensely effective ally, but she also injected laughter into all her political work, annoying some activists with her relentless antics but encouraging many others to find joy in the struggle. Kaplan’s biography brings her astonishing self-transformation to life with a riveting, often hilarious account of trading wealth and status for a life of radical activism.

Learn more at 10 a.m. on Sunday, January 25, 2026. All are welcome.
