The Pawnbroker's Daughter
By Maxine Kumin
176 pages;
Norton
Chafed by her double duty as housewife and teacher, Kumin "could
have been a case study from Betty Friedan’s The
Feminine Mystique." Instead, she became a feminist and Pulitzer-winning
poet, a journey she chronicles in this intimate memoir being published a little
more than a year after Kumin's death at age 88.
