LA JOLLA, California (Press Release) — Well into her 80’s, San Diego Jewish World columnist Natasha Josefowitz, Ph.D., has lived a full life. Some might argue she has lived enough for several lives.
Josefowitz was born in Paris, France, in 1926. Her Russian- and Lithuanian-born parents moved to the United States in 1939, where she attend Beverly Hills High School. Natasha earned her Masters at the age of 40 and her Ph.D. at the age of 50.
To say that she has been a trailblazer would be an understatement. In 1980, Josefowitz wrote Paths to Power: A Woman’s Guide from First Job to Top Executive (Addison Wesley 1980), which quickly became a bestselling guide for women in the workplace. Josefowitz taught the first college course in the country on women in management. In the mid-eighties, she became one of the first female members of Rotary International.
Josefowitz has hosted her own television segment, appeared regularly on NPR, wrote her own nationally syndicated column, and appeared on the Larry King Show, Sally Jesse Raphael, and Dr. Ruth, to name a few.
While Josefowitz has written several other bestselling books, her passion is poetry.
Now, at 87 years young, having recently lost her brother, her son, and her husband, it is Josefowitz’s strength, her passion for living life, and candor that is truly infectious.
She will discuss her 20th and latest book, Living Without The One You Cannot Live Without, at 7:30 p.m., Thursday, April 10, at Warwick’s, 7812 Girard Ave., La Jolla.
