Raised in Cleveland, Ohio, Alix attended public schools and planned to be a lawyer like her dad. But in college at Case Western Reserve University she was smitten by philosophy and upon graduation moved to New York City to study philosophy at Columbia grad school. After some years as an encyclopedia editor, she enrolled at New York University, where she took a degree in mathematics, and later, while raising two children, an MA in Humanities. She became a civil rights activist in 1961 and a feminist activist in 1967, published her first book in 1970, and taught her first class in 1973--all lifelong pursuits that have found their way into her books. Having explored in her novels the challenges of youth and midlife, in her memoirs she has probed the later stages in the ongoing drama of her generation of women, taking on the terrors and rewards of solitude, of her parents' final years, and of her late-life calling as caregiver to her beloved husband, with whom she lives in New York City. She is the author of: five novels: Ménage Memoirs of an Ex-Prom Queen Burning Questions On the Stroll In Every Woman's Life... three memoirs: Drinking the Rain A Good Enough Daughter To Love What Is: A Marriage Transformed selected essays: A Marriage Agreement and Other Essays: Four Decades of Feminist Writing two books on the anarchist-feminist Emma Goldman: To the Barricades (biography) Red Emma Speaks (collection) and three books for children: Bosley on the Number Line Awake and Asleep Finders Keepers.
