Reinventing academia

I read this book many years ago. Every few months I find myself thinking about a point that she raised, whether about literature or about the lives of academic women or about strong women in the 20th century. Heilbrun is a woman of complex insights written in a clear and accessible style! A wonderful read for lovers of literature and for feminists, male and female, young and old.
