Author: Margret Stetz
Margaret D. Stetz is the Mae and Robert Carter Professor of Women's Studies at the University of Delaware, as well as a widely published poet. Although she has spent her life in the academic world, she remains haunted by her working-class childhood in New York City and often writes about the past, still trying to make sense of it.
