Episode: Essays that changed me: Alison Lurie and 'When most boys... joined the armed services.'
Description: In her 2019 collection, Alison Lurie wrote an essay, Their Harvard, which describes her life at Radcliffe in the 1940s. It has fascinating and humorous insight on her experience as a second-class citizen, a poorer relation to the men of Harvard. She also includes a passage, shocking by today's standards, about the men and war.
