RAGE IN A TENURED POSITION
I enjoyed your article, but was a bit perplexed by the final paragraph that describes Heilbrun as mysteriously alone in her study, "not entirely willingly." It adds a tone of sadness and defeat to what I read as a strong and sensible next step for a successful female scholar in Heilbrun's not-at-all-mysterious position at Columbia: Leave! With lots of publicity about the reason.  SUSAN SCHAEFER DAVIS
