Description

Sharp: A celebration of ten remarkable women who cut through the noise with precision and wit.

In this vibrant portrayal of twentieth-century New York's intellectual scene, Michelle Dean shines a light on the lives of Dorothy Parker, Rebecca West, Hannah Arendt, Mary McCarthy, Susan Sontag, Pauline Kael, Joan Didion, Nora Ephron, Renata Adler, and Janet Malcolm. Despite facing condescension from a male-dominated cultural establishment, these women asserted themselves through their writing, leaving an indelible mark on American culture.

Mixing biography, literary criticism, and cultural history, Sharp is a testament to the power of words and the impact one woman can have when she finds her voice. This engaging introduction to their works offers a fresh perspective on these extraordinary women and their contributions to shaping the course of the twentieth century.
