An occasional series in which writers speak for themselves.
The director of Film Studies at NC State, Marsha Gordon is also a filmmaker and the author of several books, including Film Is Like a Battleground: Sam Fuller’s War Movies and Screening Race in American Nontheatrical Film. Her newest work is Becoming the Ex-Wife: The Unconventional Life & Forgotten Writings of Ursula Parrott, in which, says the New Yorker, she “makes an excellent case for Parrott as an unjustly forgotten historical figure: a sociological flash point, a beneficiary of feminism and victim of patriarchy who got her enemies mixed up.” Gordon discussed Becoming the Ex-Wife with fellow BIO member Debby Applegate in June.
