Thanks to Hardie Grant Books here is your chance to win one of 5 copies of 'How to Hepburn by Karen Karbo.LESSONS ON LIVING FROM KATE THE GREAT

How to Hepburn is Karen Karbo's feisty tribute to the fascinating Katherine Hepburn that every woman can learn from.

Part homage/biography and part female empowerment manual, this witty, provocative gem is held together by Karbo's flawless writing.

Karbo teases out lessons from the actress's life on the themes of love, marriage, work, conquering fear, happiness, individuality, honour, aging and, the rewards and hazards of saying what you mean.

With headings such as 'If You Obey All the Rules, You Miss All the Fun' and 'Confidence Is More Important than Knowledge' Karbo portrays no-nonsense Hepburn-style commentary on life, love and fashion.

How to Hepburn also examines Kate the Great's personal style, film and theatre roles, complicated relationships, personal philosophies and unorthodox choices.

Karbo is the author of three novels, each a New York Times Notable Book of the Year and her writing has appeared in Vogue, Esquire and the New York Times.

This contemporary assessment will delight not just fans of the notoriously independent actress, but any woman who is inspired by the way she fiercely demonstrated the art of living life on your own terms.

'An exuberant celebration of a great original,' The Philadelphia Enquirer.
