Peggy Orenstein, author of “Waiting for Daisy: A Tale of Two Continents, Three Religions, Five Infertility Doctors, An Oscar, An Atomic Bomb, and One Woman’s Quest to Become a Mother,” will speak at Kepler’s on Friday February 16, at 7:30 p.m.
Kepler’s says this of the event:
In a memoir with the power and resonance of ‘The Year of Magical Thinking,’ and the quirky humor of ‘Operating Instructions,’ one of the nation’s preeminent writers on women’s issues spins the astonishing story of her six-year journey to motherhood.
‘Waiting for Daisy’ is about being a woman in a confusing, contradictory time. And, it’s about trying (and trying and trying) to have a baby. ‘Waiting for Daisy’ is an honest, wryly funny report from the front, an intimate page-turner that illuminates the ambivalence, obsession, and sacrifice that characterize so many modern women’s lives.
Peggy Orenstein is the author of ‘Schoolgirls: Young Women, Self-Esteem and the Confidence Gap,’ and ‘Flux: Women on Sex, Work, Love, Kids and Life in a Half-Changed World.’
A Contributing Writer to the New York Times Magazine, her work has also appeared in the Los Angeles Times, USA Today, Elle, Vogue, Discover, MORE, Mother Jones, Salon, and The New Yorker.
She lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with her husband, Steven Okazaki, and their daughter, Daisy Tomoko.
