The groundbreaking novel that gave voice to the intellectual and physical longings of a generation of women
Alix Kates Shulman's Memoirs of An Ex Prom Queen created a profound impact on the cultural landscape when it originaly published in 1972. A sardonic portrayal of one white, middle-class, Midwestern girl's coming of age, the novel takes a wry and prescient look at a range of experiences treated at the time as taboo but which were ultimately accepted as matters of major political significance: sexual harassment, job discrimination, the sexual double standard, rape, abortion retstrictions, the double binds of marriage and motherhood, and the frantic quest for beauty. The book went on to sell over a million copies and is regarded today as a classic, one of the first and best pieces of fiction born of the women's liberation movement. With many of its concerns still with us today, this witty and devestating novel continues to resonate with readers and Sasha Davis has proved herself a prom queen for the ages.
