Episode notes

"I wanted to know what it meant to be a woman and so I married Roger Vadim who before me had been married to Catherine de Nove and Richard Bardot. And then Tom Hayden, he's going to show me how to be an activist and he did," she says. "It was nice to be taken care of. Scared me at first, but I remember the first time that Ted and I went to a hotel."

1. Why she left her body as a child and how she finally reintegrated 50 years later.

2. How, even as a public warrior for the highest ideals of democracy, she’s never had a democratic marriage – and when she knew she had to leave each one.

3. Her deepest fear, why she became happiest at 62, and a peek behind the scenes of her 85th birthday party.

4. How, despite coordinated FBI and White House campaigns to vilify her, she’s kept showing up.

5. Ways to get involved in her fight to defend the environment – and an invitation to march with her. Tomorrow in D.C.!
