TV writer and producer Linda Burstyn talks about her Hungarian mom Vera, a Holocaust survivor. From Vera, we learn about hard work, intense loyalty, choosing your partner, being a feminist even when the circumstances don't allow it, and understanding that we're all one. Linda also talks about her research on female genital mutilation in the US, about the path to discovering your true passion, about raising a daughter in Hollywood, and about challenges faced by women in the US today.
