My Brilliant Friends is a group biography of three women's
friendships forged in second-wave feminism. Poignant and
politically charged, the book is a captivating personal account of
the complexities of women's bonds. Nancy K. Miller describes her
friendships with three well-known scholars and literary critics:
Carolyn Heilbrun, Diane Middlebrook, and Naomi Schor. Their
relationships were simultaneously intimate and professional,
emotional and intellectual, animated by the ferment of the women's
movement. Friendships like these sustained the generation of women
whose entrance into male-dominated professions is still reshaping
American society. The stories of their intertwined lives and books
embody feminism's belief in the political importance of personal
experience. Reflecting on aging and loss, ambition and rivalry,
competition and collaboration, Miller shows why and how
friendship's ties matter in the worlds of work and love. Inspired
in part by the portraits of the intensely enmeshed lives in Elena
Ferrante's Neapolitan novels, My Brilliant Friends provides a
passionate and timely vision of friendship between women.
