Essays that changed me: Alison Lurie and 'When most boys... joined the armed services.'

from TreeHouseLetter · host Veteran, Mother, Author

In her 2019 collection, Alison Lurie wrote an essay, Their Harvard, which describes her life at Radcliffe in the 1940s. It has fascinating and humorous insight on her experience as a second-class citizen, a poorer relation to the men of Harvard.  She also includes a passage, shocking by today's standards, about the men and war.
