I read this through January. I notes dozens of pages that I wanted to go back to. It is a memoir that focuses on her intellectual development at Radcliffe, Paris, and MIT. It is also a psychologically-focused narrative of her coming to terms with having a missing father (her mother kept him away from her)... and what short and long term effects that had. While she's at university, she learns about (and begins to focus on) Lacan whose pychological theories focus on fathers. I'm making notes about the intellectual ideas she finds transforming. and her insights into other people. It's also a relatively fast read. There's nothing that I'm yawning at or wanting to skip over.
