Trade Review
A fascinating biography, Carolyn G. Heilbrun: Feminist in a Tenured Position now includes a new epilogue that probes the painful mystery of Heilbrun's 2003 suicide. In her moving final chapter, Kress, whose sense of personal loss is palpable through these pages, balances a life story of extraordinary accomplishment with the troubling ending Heilbrun chose to give it. [This book] is a deeply satisfying account of a woman writer whose pioneering words and example inspired many women to change their lives." — Nancy K. MillerThe Graduate CenterCity University of New Yorkand, author of But Enough about Me: Why We Read Other People’s Lives

"To her insightful meditation on the growth of a feminist’s mind, Susan Kress has added a brilliant epilogue that reveals surprising and moving facets of Carolyn Heilbrun’s life and work. A haunting posthumous tribute." — Susan GubarIndiana Universityis the, author of the forthcoming Rooms of Our Own
