True North

The author continues the memoir that began in The Road from Coorain, with her arrival in the United States from Australia in 1960 until her acceptance of the presidency of Smith College in 1975. She recounts her immersion in a world of intellectual women, her marriage to her Harvard House master, John Conway, whom she discovers is manic-depressive, their yearlong European honeymoon, and her lingering anger at her mother.
