Revision as of 03:05, 31 July 2006
Carolyn Gold Heilbrun (b. January 13, 1926 in East Orange, New Jersey; died October 9, 2003) was an American academic and feminist author who also wrote mystery novels under the pen name of Amanda Cross.
Heilbrun graduated from Wellesley College in 1947 and attended graduate school in English literature at Columbia University, receiving her M.A. in 1951 and Ph.D in 1959. She taught English at Columbia from 1960 to 1993. Heilbrun was the first woman to receive tenure in the English department. Her academic specialty was British modern literature, with a particular interest in the Bloomsbury group.
She was the author of fourteen "Kate Fansler" mysteries, written under the name Amanda Cross. Fansler, like Heilbrun, was an English professor. Heilbrun kept her second career as a mystery novelist secret in order to protect her academic career, until a fan discovered "Amanda Cross"'s true identity through copyright records. The novels, all set in academia, often were an outlet for Heilbrun's view on feminism, academic politics and other political issues. Death in a Tenured Position (set at Harvard University) was particularly harsh in its criticism of the academic establishment's treatment of women.
Heilbrun committed suicide at her apartment in New York City. According to her son, she was not ill but felt that her life had been completed.
