What is Carolyn G. Heilbrun: Feminist in a Tenured Position (Feminist Issues: Practice, Politics, Theory) about?

Carolyn G. Heilbrun Has Achieved Recognition As A Preeminent Feminist Critic Of The Culture And (as Amanda Cross) A Writer Of Witty Detective Novels. Drawing On Extensive Interviews With Carolyn Heilbrun, Her Colleagues And Friends, Susan Kress Illuminates Her Subject's Various Public Identities: As Graduate Student And Columbia Professor (until Her Headline-making Retirement), As Critic Whose Work Moves From The Study Of An English Literary Family To The Bestselling Writing A Woman's Life, As Author Of The Popular Amanda Cross Mysteries, As President Of The Modern Language Association, As Polemicist, As Biographer Herself, And As One Of The Most Interesting And Influential Of Late Twentieth-century Feminists. We See Heilbrun In The New York Intellectual World, Most Particularly Struggling With Lionel Trilling's Views And Influence, And In Counterpoint With Betty Friedan And Adrienne Rich As Contemporaries In The Women's Movement. Heilbrun's Experience Evokes That Of A Generation Of Professional Women, Often Isolated And Marginalized Within Inhospitable Institutions. The Particulars Of Her History Reveal A Woman Conflicted About Her Jewish Heritage And Her Class And Rebelling Again
