Description
The last work of a scholar whose life mirrored her work
About the Author
Marianne A. Paget (1940-1989) was a Research Associate in the Department of Sociology at Brandeis University.
Reviews
"The author's multiple voices-scholar, sociologist, victim-provide an academic, yet personal, professional, yet poignant, story....Readers face...the 'contradictory meanings' that an especially articulate woman brings to the final chapter of her life."
-Women and Health
"Paget's book is stunning. It's a tribute to the invulnerable human spirit. The woman burned like a flame; obviously she died well, because she lived well; she was loved because she was loving. The book is tremendously sad, but it isn't depressing; somehow, one is left with a sense of human possibility."
-Joan Cassell, author of Expected Miracles: Surgeons at Work
