Laura Collins Lyster-Mensh is an American writer. podcaster, and activist. She has been founding organizations to solve problems all her life, including three international charities. She is the author of four books, and has produced four podcast projects, including the most recent, Comic Widows. When not needed to save the world she tap dances, digs up ancestry clues, and watches very old movies. Hey, TCM: movies from the 60s are not old enough.
