At twenty, Alix Kates Shulman left her native Cleveland, Ohio, for New York's Greenwich Village, seeking a freer place to spend the 1950s. In the following decades she became a political activist, feminist, teacher, and award-winning writer. (For details click on Biography.) Her debut novel, the million-copy bestseller Memoirs of an Ex-Prom Queen, was called by the Oxford Companion to Women's Writing "the first important novel to emerge from the Women's Liberation Movement." Her controversial 1969 essay, "A Marriage Agreement," continues to be discussed and attacked to this day. Her most recent book is the memoir To Love What Is:A Marriage Transformed. She has written twelve books, including four novels, three memoirs, three books for children, two books on the anarchist Emma Goldman, and numerous short stories and essays. Her books have been published in Danish, Dutch, French, German, Hebrew, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, Serbo-Croatian, Spanish, and Swedish translations. (For details click on Writings.) |
