    Extractions: April 17, 2001 Noted Award-Winning author, Tillie Olsen, Noun Speaker GRINNELL, Iowa - On Tuesday, April 24 and Wednesday, April 25, noted award-winning author, Tillie Olsen, will visit the Grinnell College campus as the final Noun Program in Women's Studies speaker for the 2000-2001 academic year. At 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Olsen will speak on "Tillie Olsen Reminiscing and Reading from her Various Works" in the Forum South Lounge, Grinnell College. There will be a reception and a book signing following the event. On Wednesday at 4:15 p.m., there will be a "Read-In, in Honor of Tillie Olsen," with members of the Grinnell College campus community reading from selected works. The author of the highly praised book "Tell Me a Riddle, Silences, and Yonnondio," Olsen, 89, is a Nebraska native, born in 1912, who began writing in the 1930s with her first short story, "The Iron Throat" and the poem "I Want You Women Up North to Know" (Partisan Review, 1934). As a child, she accompanied her father to several midwest strike actions in the company of Eugene Debs and Big Bill Haywood. The necessity of raising and supporting four children through "everyday jobs" silenced her for 20 years. Self-taught, Olsen has taught, or been a writer-in-residence, at Amherst College, Amherst, Mass; Stanford University, Stanford, Calif.; Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, Mass.; and Kenyon College, Gambier, Ohio.

    Extractions: Essay Questions Tillie Olsen has explored inter-generational relationships, especially between mothers and daughters, through both literary works and photographs. Feminist and Marxist critics have shown interest in Olsen’s presentation of the economic and sexist obstacles to personal fulfillment. Olsen’s major themes, scholars note, include: unrealized dreams; the physical and psychological toll of the burdens placed on women; and financial and personal desperation. Critics praise Olsen’s commitment to feminism and social activism, evident in both her writing and her life. Her contribution to feminist literary studies, especially her promotion of non-conventional forms of women’s writing (such as diaries and notebooks) has also been recognized. Tillie Olsen
