Elizabeth Gilbert brings us into the glitzy world of 1940s' New York in her latest title, City of Girls, in which the protagonist muses, "At some point in a woman's life, she just gets tired of being ashamed all the time. After that, she is free to become whoever she truly is." Is there a line between seeking pleasure and making bad decisions? Meet the author of bestselling memoir Eat Pray Love, as she speaks about writing that celebrates one's agency and freedom.
