Her descriptions of the planned sexual ignorance girls grew up with have stuck with me to this day. I think I read most of the book sitting in the library stacks.

She is awesome.

I was first introduced to her in an undergrad “Women Writers”survey course (thanks, Professor S!), and would strongly recommend her work, esp “Memoirs from the Women’s Prison.”
