Mary van Tamelen recounts her forty-one careers, in which she earned very little money and a lifetime of priceless experiences and adventures
Mary van Tamelen's delightful tour through her many careers is a first-class
memoir, describing a fulfilling and fruitful life in terms of all the ways she could be pigeonholed. From elevator operator to indexer, faculty wife to mayor, she is best of all a clever writer who rose above the restraints imposed on American women pre-liberation to bloom and grow, wherever she was planted. With warmth and humor, wry self-deprecation and justifiable pride, van Tamelen's memoir shows us a life well lived and well loved.
