In Her Day - A Novel (Paperback)

For years a "lost" collector's item,  here is the second novel from a brilliant young  author testing her literary muscle, and it's bursting  at the seams with Rita Mae Brown's trademark cast  of characters and crackling quips. Written  immediately after her classic Rubyfruit  Jungle, In Her Day takes a  loving swipe at the charged political atmosphere of  Greenwich Village in the early seventies. Elegant  art history professor Carole Hanratty insists  brains transcend lust--until she crashes into Ilse, a  revolutionary feminist flush with the arrogance of  youth. Blazing with rhetoric, their romance is a  sexual and ideological inferno. Ilse campaigns to  get Carole to join The Movement, but  forty-four-year-old Carole and her zany peers have twenty years  of fight behind them and are wary of causes bogged  down in talk. After all, says Carole's best  friend, the real reason for a revolution is so the good  things in life circulate. Her idea of subversion  is hiring a Rolls-Royce to go to  McDonald's. In Her Day, with its infectious  merriment and serious underpinnings, proves that if  politics is the great divider, humor is the ultimate  restorative.
