(NOTE THIS IS ONE WEEK EARLIER THAN USUAL, due to scheduling conflicts): Necessary Trouble: Growing Up at Midcentury, by Drew Gilpin Faust. This memoir by Bryn Mawrter and (first female!) President of Harvard University Drew Faust describes her coming of age in a conservative Southern family in postwar America in a time of rapid change, with a good discussion of her time at Bryn Mawr. One book club member says Drew Faust did a great job of weaving her own life story in with the history of the times. If you want to see some multi-media info, there are a number of videos of interviews with Drew Gilpin Faust about her life and the book, e.g., Bing Videos.
