Harvard Book Store is pleased to present feminist critic Dr. Elaine Showalter, Avalon Professor of the Humanities at Princeton, for a discussion of her new book, A Jury of Her Peers, the first comprehensive history of American women writers from 1650 to 2000. “It seems incredible that–until now–no history of American women writers should have been available. Professor Showalter has undertaken an immense task and produced a wonderful book, one which deserves to become a literary landmark. Witty, erudite, thoughtful, and stylish, A Jury of Her Peers is deeply researched, beautifully structured, and compellingly narrated.” –Miranda Seymour (Thrumpton Hall)
