description: A memoir of intellectual discovery, as Conway enters a lively community of women scholars. It is the story of her love affair with the Canadian war hero John Conway that ripened into a remarkable marriage. And it is an unapologetic account of the author's struggles with her husband's manic depression and the sexual bias in her profession. Bracingly candid, True North is the testament of an extraordinary woman living in an extraordinary time. "A wonderful book, written with grace and style by a woman of great intelligence...able not only to confess her sorrows but also to laugh at herself...Readers, male and female, will feel that they have found a friend." -CHICAGO TRIBUNE
