Memoir Project by Editor Karyn Kloumann ’92 Wins 2019 BookLife Nonfiction Prize
Fierce: Essays by and About Dauntless Women, a memoir project devoted to women excluded from conventional narratives of history, is the winner of the inaugural BookLife Prize for Nonfiction. Conceived and edited by Bard alumna Karyn Kloumann ’92, the collection is “more than a celebration of a diverse group of activists, agitators, and iconoclasts whose lives and accomplishments have largely been ignored by history,” writes Anya Yurchyshyn in her critique of the book. “It’s an examination of the systematic oppression that led to this erasure and continues to exclude women to this day.”
