In The Art of Becoming a Citizen, acclaimed author Gail Godwin, narrated by Rosemary Benson, offers a poignant exploration of identity and civic responsibility through the lens of her past experiences and the present political landscape. Drawing parallels between the 1960 presidential election and the tumultuous aftermath of 2020, Godwin reflects on her life as a young woman, her relationships, and the evolution of her beliefs. This blend of memoir and history invites listeners to engage with their own ideas about citizenship and what it means to contribute to society.
