Reviews

Debra Monroe is a terrifically acute observer of the two worlds of women: her mother's generation corseted in sexual and familial constraints; her own, in which lovers and addresses shift with the wind. She is able, in other words, to make just as many mistakes, only different ones. My Unsentimental Education is very funny, not least at her own expense, and it raises a dozen potent questions about what has changed for a generation of women not so much disillusioned as unillusioned about what it means to 'live like a man.'--Rosellen Brown "author of Cora Fry, Tender Mercies, and Half a Heart"

Debra Monroe's blue-collar-to-academia memoir My Unsentimental Education is as well-written as it is wise.--Joe O'Connell "Austin Chronicle"

Impressively well-written, exceptionally well-organized and presented, My Unsentimental Education is a candid and thoroughly absorbing read from beginning to end, making it very highly recommended for both community and academic library American Biography collections.--Margaret Lane "Midwest Book Review"
