Send us a textWelcome back to season 2! We are kicking things off with a thrill ride. Travel back to the 1930’s with my guest and author Janet Newman. We discuss her book LETTERS FROM CLARA: ONE INTREPID WOMAN’S TRAVELS ON THE EVE OF WAR, 1936-1939. At 40 years of age, this seemingly normal woman from Wisconsin goes on a three-year journey to travel the globe to exotic locations and learn about world and herself. Janet shares how the book came to be, the importance of the YWCA to her and Clara, and plenty of tidbits from the book. Hear about Clara’s first plane trip adventure in China or her struggles overcoming her prejudices. #jacquijustchatters #jacquilents #janetnewman #lettersfromclara #travel #women #history #letters #YWCA #WW2Share your thoughts about this episode or ideas for new ones at my FB page – Jacqui Lents - Author | FacebookOr at my e-mail address –[email protected]  Gracias to Carmen María and Edu Espinalfound’s song - Ratatouille's Kitchen, that made up my opening music.  Also, merci to Nesrality on Pixabay for their cover of Irving Berlin’s tune - Always (a long fav of mine) for my closing music.
