A New York Times Book Review Editors’ Choice
“A comprehensive biography of . . . one of the most acclaimed poets of her generation and a face of American feminism.”—New York Times

A major American writer, thinker, and activist, Adrienne Rich (1929–2012) transformed herself from a traditional, Radcliffe-educated lyric poet and married mother of three sons into a path-breaking lesbian-feminist author of forceful, uncompromising prose as well as poetry. In doing so, she emerged as an architect and exemplar of the feminist movement, breaking ranks to denounce the male-dominated literary establishment and paving the way for women writers to take their places in the cultural mainstream. Drawing on a wealth of unpublished materials, including Rich’s correspondence and in-depth interviews with many people who knew her, Hilary Holladay provides a vividly detailed, full-dimensional portrait of a woman whose work and life continue to challenge and inspire new generations.

Arvustused

"One of our critic Dwight Garners top books of 2020. . . . Holladay skillfully blends literary analysis with a nuanced, humanizing portrait of this second-wave feminist lightning rod."---Laura Thompson, New York Times "Holladays comprehensive biography of the trailblazing lesbian-feminist writer, thinker, and activist draws on unpublished materials and rigorous research to paint the most expansive portrait of Rich to date." * The Millions * "[ Holladay] skillfully keeps the life story on track, deftly weaving scads of deep research together with critical assessment. . . . Holladay has written an expansive, fully-realized biography of a complex American writer who was as much a force as she was a poet."---David Daniel, Arts Fuse "The first full biography of the hugely talented American poet, Adrienne Rich. . . . Its also an appreciation of the poetry and. . . a compelling story of an artist on a journey to find their identity."---Terry Potter, The Letterpress Project
