With ME, Brenda Ueland wrote a true book and it is her masterpiece.–Patricia Hampl, from the introduction

In work, in play, in marriage, in bringing up her daughter, in her reading (she says she was much influenced by Van Gogh’s letters), in the real pressure of experience, the author passed from adolescence to maturity and found her own way to fullness in life.

Brenda Ueland (1891-1985) was the author of three best-selling books: If You Want to Write, ME, and Strength to Your Sword Arm: Selected Writings (Holy Cow! Press).
