Molly Ivins was a legendary Texas journalist and humorist. She was a fearless truth-teller who skewered politicians, celebrities, and anyone else who got in her way. She was also a champion of the underdog, and her writing often gave voice to the voiceless.

Molly Ivins: Rebel Life is a biography of this extraordinary woman. The book is written by Sharyn MacManus, who was Ivins's friend and colleague for many years. MacManus has done a masterful job of capturing Ivins's spirit and wit. The book is full of hilarious anecdotes and sharp-tongued commentary. But it is also a deeply moving portrait of a woman who lived her life on her own terms.

Ivins was born in 1944 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. She grew up in a politically active family, and she developed a strong sense of social justice at a young age. After graduating from college, Ivins moved to Texas, where she began her career as a journalist. She quickly became known for her sharp wit and her willingness to take on powerful people.

Ivins's career was marked by both triumph and tragedy. She won numerous awards for her writing, including the Pulitzer Prize for Commentary in 1997. But she also faced threats and harassment from those who disagreed with her politics. In 1994, she was diagnosed with breast cancer. She continued to write and speak out against injustice until her death in 2007.

Molly Ivins: Rebel Life is a fitting tribute to a woman who was a true American original. The book is a must-read for anyone who loves a good laugh and a strong woman.
