Jong loved her lesbian aunt, who she ended up caring for at the end of her life. Dozens of books later, as her first is re-released today, here's what is on Jong's mind now - it involves the continued need to work toward gender equality and LGBT rights, starting with an overhaul of the Republican Party. Told through the course of a life-changing journey, serious issues like sexual expression and oppression, the intricate difficulties of womanhood, and fledgling second-wave feminism are brought to the forefront through Isadora's sharp wit and honesty. In the book based on Jong's experiences, the bold, assertive Isadora Wing jumps through the page just as she did decades ago. Even 40 years after it was first published, Erica Jong's groundbreaking novel Fear of Flying stunningly endures.
