What is The Tamarisk Tree : My Quest for Liberty and Love about?

If she has anything to say about it, Dora Black Russell Grace is not going to be known merely as the second wife of Bertrand Russell. Her autobiography presents her as a personage, even an intellect, in her own right, a woman of remarkable abilities and beliefs who, at the age of 27, resigned many of her own ambitions to marry the middle-aged philosopher who first struck her as being "exactly like the Mad Hatter." The marriage began as a noble experiment in shared responsibility, non-possessiveness, and non-interference with each other's sexual commitments. The young Dora, the eager, idealistic student, traveler, lover, feminist, mother, political campaigner, comes across with an unforced appeal. To Dora, the tamarisk tree, a rememberance from childhood, came to symbolize her early idealistic aspirations and, ultimately, how her life measured up to those dreams. In this forthright and candid autobiography she reveals a fierce struggle to retain her indeoendence and spirit through her political activity and professional career
