Katherine Ryan: Firstborn Daughter

Join Katherine Ryan in discussion with a special guest as she delves into her new book First Born Daughter and much more.

In Firstborn Daughter, comedian Katherine Ryan turns her sharp, self-deprecating wit on the role she never auditioned for: the eldest daughter, hardwired from birth to manage everyone's emotions, schedules, and crises but her own. Blending personal memoir with pop-psychology (Adler's birth order theory, the concept of "parentification") and a running tally of famous fellow FBDs, from Oprah to Taylor Swift to Princess Anne, Ryan makes the case that an entire generation of women has been quietly running the show, unpaid and unacknowledged, and it's time someone said so hilariously out loud.

Don’t miss this exclusive chance to hear the unfiltered stories behind the pages from one of the sharpest wits in the business.
