27. Charmian Kittredge London with Iris Jamahl Dunkle
Charmian Kittredge London and husband, Jack London
If you don’t know anything about author Charmian Kittredge London, you’ll be fascinated by her after this episode! She was every bit as fearless—arguably more so—as her famous husband, Jack London, and she was the driving force behind their 1907 sailing adventure across the South Pacific on the Snark. Unfairly relegated to his larger-than-life shadow, Kittredge’s story is compelling on its own terms, as we learn from this week’s guest, Kittredge London biographer Iris Jamahl Dunkle.
