Dorothy Parker (Women’s Issues (Ready Reference series))
Author Profile
Irreverent and shrewd, Dorothy Parker punctured the pretensions of books and films in her reviews and spoke out for social causes, including civil rights and labor organizing. She is remembered for her acerbic wit, for such ironic short stories as “Big Blonde” (1929), and for the self-mocking humor of her poetry. Feminists have admired Parker’s staunch independence, which she maintained even after it jeopardized her screenwriting career in Hollywood.
