Anne Roiphe (born December 25, 1935) is an American writer and journalist. She is best known as a first-generation feminist and author of the novel Up the Sandbox (1970), filmed as a starring vehicle for Barbra Streisand in 1972.[1] In 1996, Salon called the book "a feminist classic."[2]

Background and education

Roiphe was born and raised in a Jewish family in New York City.[3][4] She graduated from the Brearley School in 1953 and received her Bachelor of Arts from Sarah Lawrence College in 1957. Roiphe is also a cousin of controversial attorney Roy Cohn.[5]

Career

Over a four-decade career, Roiphe has proven so prolific that the critic Sally Eckhoff observed "tracing Anne Roiphe's career often feels like following somebody through a revolving door: the requirements of keeping the pace can be trying."[2] (Eckhoff described the writer as "a free-thinking welter of contradictions, a never-say-die feminist who's nuts about children"). Roiphe published Digging Out, her first novel, in 1967. Her second, Up the Sandbox (1970), became a national best-seller.

Roiphe has published several novels and two memoirs as well as contributed essays and reviews to The New York Times, The New York Times Magazine, New York Magazine, and others. In 1993, The New York Times described her as "a writer who has never toed a party line, feminist or otherwise."[6] Her 1996 memoir Fruitful: A Memoir of Modem Motherhood was nominated for the National Book Award.[7]

From 1997 to 2002, she served as a columnist for The New York Observer. Her memoir Epilogue was published in 2008 and the memoir Art and Madness in 2011. Ballad of the Black and Blue Mind was published by Seven Stories Press in May 2015,[8] and received starred reviews from Publishers Weekly[9] and Booklist.[10]

Personal

Roiphe was married twice. In 1957, she married Jack Richardson; they had one daughter, Emily Carter, then divorced.[11][12] In 1967,[12] she married Dr. Herman Roiphe; they had two children together: Katie Roiphe[13] and Rebecca Roiphe[14] in addition to Herman's two daughters from a prior marriage, Margaret Roiphe and Jean Roiphe.[12]
