Wanted Dead Or Alive
Her father, Seth, was a whimsical intellectual who embraced a liberal worldview, contrasting sharply with Dorothy’s more stringent outlook. In a stroke of eccentric parenting, he’d whisk young Janis off to the post office, where they’d marvel at the mugshots of wanted men, transforming it into a peculiar pastime! He was the ideal dad, the role model we all craved. It’s a miracle she didn’t end up in a bullet-riddled car like Bonnie and Clyde!
Caught in the crossfire of her mother’s constant chiding and lofty standards, coupled with her father’s fascination for outlaws, it’s hardly surprising that Janis grew into a rebel. Rather than conforming, she scoffed at societal norms, etiquette, and legality, dismissing them as pure baloney. Instead, she blazed a trail for women’s liberation and championed gender and civil rights, etching her name in the annals of history.
