Still Not Behaving Like Gentlemen, Ann Bartow Apr 2001

Still Not Behaving Like Gentlemen, Ann Bartow

Ann Bartow

The author reflects upon the genesis of a law school project with Lani Guinier that ultimately resulted in the publication of a law review article entitled Becoming Gentlemen: Women's Experiences at One Ivy League Law School, and later a book, Becoming Gentlemen: Women, Law School, and Institutional Change. I discuss an apparent dearth of positive, substantive changes in legal education over the past eleven years, noting that women apparently continue to receive lower grades and fewer honors related to grades in top law schools. I also consider reactions to Becoming Gentlemen, and observe that to the extent it got everyone's …

Tamar R Birckhead

The poet Anne Sexton committed suicide in October, 1974, at the age of forty-five. Three months earlier, she had celebrated the 21st birthday of her elder daughter, Linda Gray Sexton, and on that occasion appointed her as Sexton's literary executor. Anne Sexton provided detailed instructions in her will about the disposition of her papers. She made no mention, however, of the four audio tapes of her psychotherapy sessions that were later found. She also did not mention the over 300 therapy tapes that were still in the possession of her principal psychiatrist, Dr. Martin Orne.

After Anne Sexton's death, Linda …
