SUMMARY:

Mary Tyler Ivins was born in Monterey, California and grew up in Houston, Texas. She graduated from Smith College in 1966, from the Columbia School of Journalism and studied for one year at the Institute of Political Sciences in Paris.

She began her newspaper career with the Houston Chronicle and then moved to the Minneapolis Tribune where she became the city's first female police reporter. Returning to her home state as co-editor of the Texas Observer, she concentrated on politics and social justice issues. In 1976 Ivins became a political reporter for the New York Times, working first in New York then in Albany and, for three years, covering nine mountain states as Rocky Mountain Bureau Chief. She returned to Texas in 1982 as a columnist for the now-defunct Dallas Times-Herald and then, for nine years, with the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. In 2001, Molly Ivins became an independent journalist.

She has since passed away, but her love for life and what is right lives on!

This 10th - 12th grade canonized work allows students to understand the need for change and standing up for equality and what you believe is right.
