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. She has written fourteen books, including five novels, three memoirs, three books for children, two books on the anarchist Emma Goldman, an essay collection, 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. This spring she has two new books: MÉNAGE, a satirical novel about a wealthy married couple who invite a celebrated emigré writer to live with them; and A MARRIAGE AGREEMENT AND OTHER ESSAYS: FOUR DECADES OF FEMINIST WRITING.
