Panel Discussion – Hellman: The Radical
Sunday, February 5 at 5:00 pm
In the Arlene and Robert Kogod Cradle
Independent. Outspoken. Headstrong. Brave. Difficult. Communist. Liar. Depending on who you spoke to, those are just some adjectives used to describe Lillian Hellman. She grew up with the Roaring 20s, cut her teeth on politics during the Great Depression, became a fêted writer during WWII, survived the blacklisting of the 50s, became an idol of the women’s movement of the 60s and 70s and ended her life in notoriety. This panel explores Hellman’s radical lifestyle and the writing that proliferated from it. Panelists include Jackson Bryer, editor of Conversations with Lillian Hellman, and Alice Kessler-Harris, author of A Difficult Woman: The Challenging Life and Times of Lillian Hellman.
