Autorenporträt
Sayre Sheldon, born in Cambridge in 1926, spent her early years in Buffalo and Cambridge, until her family moved to New England for good. She attended the Buckingham School in Cambridge, and the Putney School in Vermont. After graduating from Radcliffe in 1949, already married to a veteran and starting a family, she got a graduate degree in literature at Boston University and went on to teach literature and women's studies there for many years. In 1980 she became the founding president of Women's Action for Nuclear Disarmament (WAND), traveling around the U.S. and abroad, speaking for peace, and for many years representing WAND at the United Nations. She also published an anthology, Her War Story: Twentieth Century Women Write About War (Southern Illinois University Press, 1999), and Poems from an 84th Summer, (lulu.com, May 16, 2014). With a colleague she wrote two plays that were produced, and her own play, Sentences, which was based on her experiences teaching in Boston University's degree-giving college program in Massachusetts prisons. Her writing and political activism continue into her nineties, motivated by her determination to contribute to a world that has provided her with so much.
