Tillie Olsen

“Authorative but never prescriptive, appreciative but never adulatory, this book offers---at long last—an astute, judicious appraisal of the life and achievements of author-activist Tillie Olsen.” ---Alice Hall Petry, Rhode Island School of Design

We need a study of Olsen, especially such a comprehensive and well-researched one. Pearlman’s interview is a valuable bonus.” ---Linda Wagner-Martin, University of North Caroline at Chapel Hill
