Vivienne Westwood's first autobiography, "VIVIENNE WESTWOOD: The Autobiography," is now available.

Vivienne Westwood is a national icon in Britain as a symbol of courageous women. She is also known for her political activism, serving as a leader of freedom and human rights organizations and a spokesperson for the environmental organization Greenpeace. She donates most of her income to the protection of rainforests and the Arctic. She currently enjoys a modest lifestyle with her husband, Andreas, who is 25 years her junior. At 74, she has no intention of retiring or limiting her social activities.

This new autobiography features Vivienne Westwood's story told for the first time by herself. It also features unique messages from fellow activists and friends, including Pamela Anderson, Prince Charles, Shami Chakraborty, Naomi Campbell, Jerry Hall, Bob Geldof, and Julian Assange.

Among them, human rights activist Shami Chakrabati said, "The first thing you need to know about Vivienne is her extraordinary honesty and dedication. She has the side of a wise elder, but she is still hungry to understand more and continues to raise issues in society and strive. Vivienne is a true icon and the most influential feminist I know. She has built an empire. She is full of love and has tolerance for sin. And to top it all off, she has great looks."
