Judith Nies, who formerly led the Writing Forum for MSAE students working on their thesis, has a new book out, The Girl I Left Behind: A Narrative History of the Sixties. This memoir combines Judith’s personal history with the political and cultural history of the sixties and the women’s movement.
In the cover photo Judith is seen returning by ship from Europe in 1966, with a Master’s in International Studies, ready to begin her career. She was soon to find out how limited her options were as a woman and in the coming years became a pioneer feminist.
Judith’s other books include Nine Women: Portraits from the American Radical Tradition, which has been in print for thirty years, and Native American History.
